Learn About Ft. Myers Florida
Fort Myers, on the coast of Southwest Florida, has a little bit of everything: pristine nature preserves, wild waterways, beaches, arts and culture, and plenty of retail and dining options. Play on the sand and dive into the water at Bowditch Point Park and Bunche Beach Preserve, launch a kayak on the Great Calusa Blueway Paddling Trail, and fish the Gulf of Mexico. Shop the massive Gulf Coast Town Center and Edison Mall, check out the spring training homes of the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins, and visit the area’s museums. Its proximity to a host of Gulf Islands including Sanibel and Captiva make Fort Myers an ideal location for an island-hopping, nature-filled vacation that still provides the shopping, entertainment, and cultural opportunities of a bigger city.
