Originally a continuous state road extending from Bonita Springs to Tice, Florida and serving Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach, State Road 865 (SR 865) now consists of two segments connected by a part of County Road 865 (CR 865). Both the state and county controlled segments of the route combined stretch a distance of nearly 40 miles, making it the longest designation in Lee County.
Locally known as San Carlos Boulevard, the 4.8-mile-long southern section of SR 865 provides the Cape Coral-Fort Myers area access to Estero Island in the Gulf of Mexico. The southern terminus is an intersection with Estero Boulevard (CR 865) in Fort Myers Beach, just east of Bodwitch Point Park; after crossing the Matanzas Pass Bridge and San Carlos Island, SR 865 forms the western boundary of Estero Bay Preserve State Park adjacent to Hurricane Bay.
San Carlos Boulevard then intersects with Summerlin Road (CR 869), which is a grade-separated Single-Point Urban Interchange, with Summerlin Road crossing above on an overpass. Summerlin Road is a highway that connects Fort Myers with Sanibel Island via the Sanibel Causeway.
