Best fishing spots in Harlem Heights
Harlem Heights sits a short drive from three good shore spots on the way to the islands. Bowditch Point Park, about 4 miles away on Fort Myers Beach, is the closest, with snook, crevalle jacks, pompano and Spanish mackerel working the pass.
The Sanibel Causeway Islands, around 6.5 miles off, are a steady choice for sheepshead, snook and redfish around the bridge spans, and Sanibel Lighthouse Beach, a little under 7 miles away, adds pompano and snook along the beach. It is a handy starting point whether you prefer the pass, the causeway or the sand.
