Bunch Beach Fort Myers Florida

In Fort Myers a mile or so before you get to the Sanibel causeway bridge, you’ll see a sign on your left for Bunche Beach. Clark and I were running a little early (very unusual) to meet some friends so we decided kill a few minutes and check out the beach. I think it’s only the second time we’ve ever stopped at Bunche Beach.

We knew it was low tide but had no idea it would be this cool.

It felt like we were on the moon.

The crazy FIDDLER CRABS were out in the masses here too. If you missed my video of their madness, CLICK HERE.

And lots of minis!

At first, I thought there were oodles of AUGERS but noticed the lip was a little fat… they are LADDER HORN SNAILS.

You can see it a little better in this next photo. Cute, huh?

And there were mounds of MELAMPUS.

These little NASSA shells are so bright yellow and tiny, I wasn’t sure if they are the BRUISED NASSAor not. I think they may be juveniles.

Last but not least, I found three MARGINELLAS.

 We had so much fun exploring Bunche Beach, I think we’ll make this a regular stop when we go off island.
