I live in Cape Coral and have hunted Ft Myers Beach only once. My Ace 250 does great in the dry sand but in the wet sand it's not so good. The one time I went, I found the same exact amount of change in the sand that I had already put into the parking meter, $2. I'm sure there's plenty more stuff in the more populated areas of the beach, like in front of the Lani Kai(sp?) but I went farther down and parked on Connecticut St.
