Report Review
We were at ball 53, a little far from dingy dock 1 with services. The Key West Express Ferry leaves right across from that ball. The Matanzas Inn provides 2 very nice showers with AC and bench, roomy and clean. There is also a laundry room with pay by card washers and dryers, it would be even nicer if they put a table in laundry room to fold clothes on. The 2nd dingy dock is at the end of Gulf Beach Rd. next to the Bay Oaks Rec campus. You take your dingy to end of the canal where there is a nice little dock. The Rec center is still under repair but did have one restroom open. There is better green space if you want to walk your pups and a very short easy walk to nice less crowded beach across Estero Rd. Also very close to the Love Boat Ice cream. We loved the fresh seafood at The Dixie Fishouse. We used the dingy dock at Bonita Bill's and there is also a dock at Doc's. Fort Myers Beach is still hard at work rebuilding after Ian. We had 8-9 ft at ball. We did have the ball being pushed up against the boat when the current and wind were at odds.
