Pay-by-plate parking system launches Monday, Oct. 2 at select Lee County beach parks

Lee County will launch a new parking payment system, Text2Park, at select Lee County beach locations starting Monday, Oct. 2, to allow patrons the convenience to pay for parking from their mobile device.

The updated system features a convenient, cashless pay-by-plate system. This means visitors will no longer need to visit a kiosk or display a parking receipt on the dashboard of their vehicle. Directions will be displayed on each parking space sign. Parking is $2 per hour, with the ability to add additional time.

The beach locations implementing pay-by-plate parking are:

• Bowditch Point Park, 50 Estero Blvd., Fort Myers Beach

• Lynn Hall Memorial Beach Park, 950 Estero Blvd., Fort Myers Beach

• San Carlos Bay-Bunche Beach Preserve, 18201 John Morris Road, Fort Myers

• Bonita Beach Park, 27954 Hickory Blvd., Bonita Springs

• Bonita Beach Access #1, 27890 Hickory Blvd., Bonita Springs

• Bonita Beach Access #10, 26082 Hickory Blvd., Bonita Springs

Park staff will be available throughout the rollout of this system to assist guests and a video explaining the new pay-by-plate process will be available at leeparks.org/beaches.

Residents and visitors are advised that beach parks have not been restored to pre-Hurricane Ian conditions. Some amenities such as restroom facilities, piers and walkovers have not been repaired or replaced at this time. For more information on facilities and available amenities, visit the Park Progress Map tool at leeparks.org.
