 Discover Ft. Myers and Ft. Myers
Beach...a great family treat Discover the beaches of Fort Myers, on southwest Florida's sun-drenched Gulf of Mexico - a wonderful change-of-pace from the been-there, done-that vacation. Beautiful white-sand beaches lined with exotic seashells, breathtaking sunsets, tropical wildlife, nature preserves, history- and nature-based attractions and adventures for the entire family. .
It's hard to imagine Fort Myers Beach as a remote stretch of green edged with white, soft sand and accessible only by boat. However, that's just what it was until the first "Little Bridge" was constructed to bring tourists and locals alike to the seven-mile Estero Island through Bunche Beach on the mainland. By the late 1920s, a new bridge (actually a second-hand one from the East coast of Florida) was installed near the current San Carlos Bridge.
Boating, sailing, fishing and spectacular Lovers Key State Park make this island a real recreational playground. Add to that a great number of family-friendly condo resorts, Old Florida charm, restaurants serving fresh seafood from the Gulf of Mexico and an annual Shrimp Festival, and it's a beach vacation paradise.
For the water sports lover, Fort Myers offers a variety of water recreation like swimming, fishing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, etc. You can take a cruise or go on a dolphin tour. If you want to take a break from the beach, there are casinos, mini-golf courses, nature lover's spots such as Fort Myers Beach Pier, Lovers Key State Park, and Ostego Bay Marine Science Center. Besides the attractions of Fort Myers Beach, you can also visit the attractions of nearby city of Fort Myers.
