It was in a movie Romance in the Dark —-an idea that is a mixed blessing.

Lovers’ Key near Fort Myers Beach is on the Gulf of Mexico. It is beautiful and popular, but you must pass a physical to be admitted. Photo by Paul Goldfinger who once said, “Speak softly and carry a long lens.” February 2015
Two year update. 2017:
March 14, 2017. Now that Viagra will soon be available in a cheaper generic version, Florida officials at Lovers Key Beach expect that many more men will pass the physical making the crowds there bigger.
BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB “Murmullo.” This song title translates to a “murmur.” As a cardiologist I have extensive experience with murmurs , but the Buena Vista Social Club undoubtedly has something else in mind, and when checking in at Lovers Beach, we know what that’s all about. Do you speak Spanish?

Thomas Edison had over 1000 patents, so he undoubtedly had lots of dough. His estate on the Caloosahatchee River is lovely, but quite unassuming. This is his kitchen. He and his wife had a maid and probably a cook.
As you can imagine, the home was well lit with lots of light bulbs and lighting fixtures. We have photographed other rooms as well as the property.
Just type Edison Estate or Thomas Edison into the search box at the top of this home page.

No beach fees, no lifeguards, no crowds in peak season, no boardwalk, no food concessions, and no schlock shops. There are no condominiums anywhere in sight.
But there are clean and airy bathrooms hidden among the trees.
There is a parking lot which charges $5.00 per hour.
