I am amazed at the beauty that surrounds us at Shell Point!
MC has been taking pictures and I wish to share what he has captured!
To begin, Shell Point, covers about 800 acres. There is so much here and every day we find somewhere new to explore!
Shell Point is composed of four different "Neighborhoods". We live on The Island. The other three are The Woodlands, Eagles Preserve, and the newest, The Estuary. Each one has it's own personality.
Overview of the Island
The Caloosahatchee River to the North and man-made channels to the West and South
THE MAIN GATE IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE ISLAND
THE WELCOME CENTER IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE GATE...
THIS IS WHERE OUR 'NEW LIFE' BEGAN
The Island was the first Shell Point neighborhood built in the 1960's. It has the majority of the activities .....the CENTER for the residents lives!!!....
