Morse Shores Real Estate

Morse Shores is an established east Fort Myers neighborhood between Palm Beach Boulevard (State Road 80) and the Caloosahatchee River, with the Orange River close by. Much of it is laid out along canals, so a lot of homes here have their own docks and lifts. It's one of the more affordable ways to get direct river access in Lee County.

It's also easy to get anywhere from here. I-75 runs right through the neighborhood, with an interchange at Palm Beach Boulevard, so Southwest Florida International Airport, Gulf Coast Town Center and the rest of Lee County are a short drive. Downtown Fort Myers and the River District are about six miles west.

For time outside, Manatee Park on Palm Beach Boulevard is nearby, with kayak rentals and winter manatee viewing on the Orange River. Shopping, groceries and restaurants line Palm Beach Boulevard.

On the Water

From the Morse Shores canals you're on the Caloosahatchee River, the main water highway of Lee County. Head west past downtown Fort Myers and you reach San Carlos Bay, Sanibel, Pine Island Sound and the Gulf of America. Head east and you're on the Okeechobee Waterway toward the Franklin Lock, LaBelle and Lake Okeechobee.

Before you buy on a canal anywhere in Fort Myers, check the bridges between the dock and the river, the water depth at low tide, and the dock and lift condition. Those three things decide what boat you can keep behind the house.
