FORT MYERS BEACH, FLORIDA
Captivating Vacationers with its Unpretentious Charm

Fort Myers Beach, Florida- The intimate island town of Fort Myers Beach captivates vacationers and locals alike with its unpretentious charm and warm hospitality. From the moment you descend from the scenic span of the Matanzas Bridge – which connects the island to the mainland of Fort Myers – you know you’re in for something special. The town’s casual and laid-back atmosphere and reputation as “the safest beach in the world” have led to its increasing popularity as a great family vacation spot. Its active nightlife and beach-side boutiques and bistros have also made it a favorite for Spring Breakers and couples looking for a weekend getaway. 

Wide, white-sand beaches bring visitors to Fort Myers Beach year after year. Over 30 beach access points are located along Estero Boulevard, some with parking and some for pedestrian traffic only. Peaceful surroundings make these great places to go and just enjoy the beach and its natural surroundings. The centerpiece of the island, Fort Myers Beach Pier, abounds with fishermen and local waterfowl. The pelicans especially enjoy the pier, and every post seems to have its prerequisite occupant perched on top. Bowditch Point, a lovely 17-acre park that fronts both the Gulf of Mexico and Estero Bay, welcomes visitors with an unspoiled wide sandy beach and beautiful views of nearby barrier islands. Sun lovers can catch a trolley to the beach, which runs up and down the island every 15 minutes.

Beyond the shoreline, Fort Myers Beach offers a myriad of activities for young and young-at-hearts alike. Numerous vendors along Estero Boulevard offer jet-ski rentals, bike rentals and parasailing, as well as other sport activities. The kids will enjoy a splash in the Community Pool, which features a two-story water slide, lap pool and a tad pool area with waterfalls, squirt guns and tire swings. No visit to Fort Myers Beach would be complete without a stroll through Times Square, the main shopping and dining area of the town. If you’re seeking a great day trip, X-Press to Key West offers a four-hour high-speed boat cruise to Key West with return on the same day. The eco jewels of Sanibel and Captiva islands are just 20 minutes away, the historical attractions of Fort Myers are within a 30-minute drive, and adventures in the Everglades are less than an hour away. The cosmopolitan city of Naples, known for its trendy boutiques, restaurants and cultural events, is 45 minutes south, making Fort Myers Beach a perfect home base for a Southwest Florida vacation getaway filled with adventure.

For more information, visit www.FortMyers-Sanibel.com, the official website of The Beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel, or call 1-800-237-6444 for the Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau. International visitors may call (239) 338-3500.
