1. Lovers Key Beach
Lovers Key Beach is south of Cape Coral and in a wilder location, hosted by Lovers Key State Park and Lovers Key Recreation Area. This is the ultimate spot to go if you want peace and quiet, natural views, and lots of stunning birds to watch while you hang out on the beach. Still, the beach is well-maintained, clean, and less crowded than most others on this list.
At 1.5 miles long, there are plenty of sights to take in should you take a romantic stroll down the shore.
2. Tarpon Bay Beach
Tarpon Bay Beach, in Sanibel Island, is a quick boat ride (or drive, but boating is much better) from Cape Coral, and it is a stunning area filled with rich culture, delicious foods, interesting people, beautiful architecture, regal waterfront estates, and several luxurious hotels and resorts.
Tarpon Bay is a great location to boat or have a beach day.
You’ll be surrounded by nature almost all the way around, with just a quick glimpse of Woodring Road’s sophisticated 
Captiva Beach is up the coast from Turner Beach, with a wealth of beach diners, shops, resorts, marinas, vacation homes, luxury hotels, and boat clubs to enjoy. On the beach, you will likely spot seashells, dolphins, and some stunning boats passing by. The beach is always immaculately clean. It can be crowded on weekends, especially in the summer, but it’s always a special place to visit.
4. Turner Beach
Turner Beach is perfect for fishing and swimming from the sandy shores or rock jetty. It’s on the southwestern tip of the island, almost touching Sanibel Island, giving you the best views of the Gulf of Mexico.
At Turner Beach, you’re at the convergence of Blind Pass, Blind Pass beach, Albright Key, Dinken Bayou, and the Patterson Island Preserve. If you cross Blind Pass Bridge, you’ll almost immediately see Castaways Bait Shop, The Mad Hatter (a great restaurant), Sunset Grill, and Lazy Flamingo.
