Getting Around the Island
Trolley Routes 410 & 490
LeeTran’s trolley is the easiest way to get up and down the island. Route 410 runs from Bowditch Point Park to Lover’s Key State Park, and Route 490 runs from the Beach Park & Ride to Crescent Beach. Look for ‘Trollee’ signs and benches along San Carlos Blvd. and Estero Blvd.
Fares
Rides cost 75 cents, $2 for an all-day pass or $4 for a 3-day pass. Bring exact fare, since drivers can’t make change, or pay cashless with the LeeFare app or a TropiCard. Discounted 35-cent fares are available to seniors 65 and older, persons with disabilities and full-time students, and children 6 and under ride free.
Free Tram/Route 420
The free Beach Tram runs between Bowditch Point Park and the FMB Public Library from November through April each season. Tram service has stopped until November 2026.
Beach Park & Ride
Leave your car at the Beach Park & Ride, 11101 Summerlin Square Dr., and take the 490 Trolley to Crescent Beach. Both the trolley and tram have ramps for wheelchairs and scooters, and the trolley carries bikes on exterior racks.
