San Carlos Bay/Bunche Beach Preserve to close temporarily for drainage repairs
San Carlos Bay/Bunche Beach Preserve will close temporarily beginning Monday, Nov. 16, for drainage system and beach berm repairs.
The preserve, located at 18201 John Morris Road in Fort Myers, will close so Lee County Department of Transportation can perform the repairs to address damage caused by heavy tides and wave action associated with Hurricane Isaias. The work is necessary to improve road drainage and help ensure visitor safety.
The closure will block the turnaround, beach access and portions of the beach while work is underway. The activity center and kayak launch will remain open. Signs have been posted throughout the park to inform visitors of the temporary closure.
The preserve is expected to reopen at dawn on Saturday, Nov. 21, weather permitting.
