Geocache Description:

It's at the Bay! On the less well traveled side of Fort Myers Beach is the Bay.

Enjoy the View! And don't forget to Phoon! Lots of birds and many different type of boats can be seen from here including pleasure boats, huge casino boats and shrimping boats. The Fort Myers Beach Shrimpers are one of the last few remaining shrimp fleets in the United States.

Follow the co-ordinates onto the concrete pier and turn to your left. To log this cache, you will need at least two members of your team. Go to the listed coordinates. Look around until you find the eye in the sky looking at you. Use your cell phone to call the other member of your team who will need to have access to a computer that can access The Greater Fort Myers Beach Area Chamber of Commerce or type in http://www.fmbchamber.com/webcam_sh.php

Do NOT try to click on the image from the streaming frame. You will not be able to save the image this way.

The link to see the still images has gone missing, while I'm waiting for their webmaster to replace it, here's a quick fix... Use a screen capture program to get the picture.
Here's one with a free trial - Hypersnap
and if you have a mac try - Screen Catcher

This camera is not zoom-able so it can be hard to get a clear picture of the person. Therefore to log this cache, I require everyone to throw a Phoon (with their GPS in one hand) so that we know what they are there for. Logs without images will be deleted.

What the heck is a Phoon?

Parking
Parking can be very difficult here. Most legal parking is 0.75/hr or there are pay to park lots that range $5-10 for the whole day. The police are strict so don't leave an illegally parked car unattended - you have been warned!
