Fort Myers Beach Travel Tips

  • Wander through the winter estates of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, located right across the Caloosahatchee River from downtown.
  • Wing it to the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge on spectacular Sanibel Island, famed for its migratory bird populations.
  • Go shelling at one of the lingering vestiges of old-Florida kitsch. The Shell Factory, in North Fort Myers, lays claim to the largest collection of seashells, sponges, and other sea life. It also has a petting zoo and a "Waltzing Waters" show.
  • Charter a boat and explore southwest Florida's unspoiled barrier islands, including North Captiva, Cayo Costa, and Gasparilla Island, which are only accessible by sea.
  • Catch some baseball with the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins, both of which call Fort Myers home for their spring training.

Fort Myers Beach Overview

Often overshadowed by trendy Sanibel and Captiva islands to the north and by ritzy Naples to the south, down-to-earth Fort Myers Beach, which occupies all of skinny Estero Island, has just as much sun and sand as its affluent neighbors, both a half-hour drive away, but more moderate prices. In fact, if you're looking for that Jimmy Buffet-style of slacking, Fort Myers Beach is where it's at. Read More
