Shell Point--Our New Life!

MC and I are settled into our new apartment.  We  now enjoy strolling around  our "neighborhood" after dinner.
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!!!....
