Pine Island

Located just west of Cape Coral, Pine Island is the largest island on Florida’s Gulf Coast and offers a truly unique lifestyle rooted in nature, simplicity, and coastal charm. Surrounded by the Pine Island Sound and only 30 minutes from Fort Myers, the island provides a peaceful, small-town feel with access to world-class fishing, kayaking, and wildlife.

Unlike most coastal communities, Pine Island has no high-rises or crowded beaches—just wide open spaces, tropical foliage, and a vibrant local art and fishing culture. The island is also home to parts of the Matlacha Pass National Wildlife Refuge, making it a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.

Whether you're exploring quiet mangrove trails, casting a line into the bay, or simply enjoying the sunset from your porch, Pine Island is ideal for those seeking a more relaxed, nature-connected way of life.
