Cape Romano

Marjory Stoneman Douglas stated that the cape was named for Bernard Romans, who charted all of the coasts of East and West Florida in 1774.

The Kice Island barrier beach was 2.5 miles (4.0 km) long in 1976, extending southsouthwest from Caxamabas Pass and Bay.

Hurricane Wilma made landfall near Cape Romano in 2005, bringing a 10-foot (3.0 m) storm surge onto Kice Island.

Some sand from the Kice-Morgan beaches has moved south, forming a spit at the southern end of Morgan Island.

John Lee Williams reported plantations in the vicinity of Caxambas Bay in 1837, which led Charlton Tebeau to suggest there may have been one at Cape Romano.
