What You're Watching
This camera provides a live view of Margaritaville Resort. Geological Foundations and Coastal Morphology The barrier island on which Margaritaville Resort – Fort Myers Beach stands is part of Estero Island, a slender sand spit sculpted by centuries of wave action and longshore drift. Beneath the white quartz sand lies a substrate of Pleistocene-age oolitic limestone, the cemented remains of ancient shoals. Wind‑blown dunes once rose over ten feet abov.

History & Context
Geological Foundations and Coastal Morphology The barrier island on which Margaritaville Resort – Fort Myers Beach stands is part of Estero Island, a slender sand spit sculpted by centuries of wave action and longshore drift. Beneath the white quartz sand lies a substrate of Pleistocene-age oolitic limestone, the cemented remains of ancient shoals. Wind‑blown dunes once rose over ten feet above mean sea level before development flattened the terrain; modern coastal engineers rebuilt these dunes with beach‑compatible sand and native sea oats to buffer storm surge and encourage sediment accretion.
