Local Area

The ideal location.

Not only will you love Estero Bay Village, you will also fall in love with the nearby beaches and find intrigue surrounding Estero’s Mound Key Archaeological State Park. More than 30 feet above the water, and miles from shore, are ancient shell mounds that transform the landscape of Estero Bay. Made of bones, shells and pottery pieces, this area is believed to have been the ceremonial center of the Calusa Indians. The park is accessible by boat only, but the journey is well worth it.

Rich history. Outdoor playground.

For those who enjoy history, a visit to the historic Koreshan Settlement located on the Estero River is in order. There are guided tours, and areas for camping, hiking, picnics, a playground, kayak and canoe rentals, and a boat launch.
