Western coast of Florida -- any waves?

[Anonymous]

In places like Sanibel, Naples, Marco Island -- are there any waves to play in?

To frolick in? Yes. To surf? No really.

Very small waves unless a storm is coming.

OP here -- the kind of wave you stand in with a boogie board and float on the board as the waves come through.

I have seen these in Sanibel at Bowmans Beach. Weather/tide dependent of course.

That's been my experience in Naples. Lovely warm water, nice sand but almost no waves.

Small waves but beautiful sunsets every night.

One wave. My 4yo can swim over it with some help. Sometimes none, and when it's raining/windy, it will pick up and look a little closer to the east coast.

It's so pretty, but what do people do at the beach if they aren't in the water playing in the waves???

There are plenty of waves to play in---but it is not like the Atlantic or Pacific. Fine with a boogie board--but not to stand on or surf. However, the beach is much prettier--white and much softer. Water is turquoise.

Walking on the beach is great.
