Robin's Nest Bakery: A Great Little Soup & Sandwich Place
CPM Says: The Robin's Nest is a great little spot in Fort Myers Florida. Its almost hidden away on Winkler Road just off College Parkway, housed within The Atrium mall. They're only open for breakfast and lunch but they are nothing short of fantastic. We've been there a few times for...
The Rush Coffee & Tea Shop: The Rush Coffee & Tea

1 Review We think you will definately enjoy Fort Myers much more with your own car or a rental. It is a big town, and with all of the beaches the Lee Island Coast has to offer, you must have a car to see sights at your pace.
grandmaR Says: The Lee County transportation system is called LeeTran and serves not only Fort Myers but surrounding communities. Basic fare for an adult is $1.00 and 15 cents for a transfer.The buses like this one allow you to carry bikes on the front of the bus.From their website:Rules...
2 Reviews They have everything a body needs for the folks back home. You need a gift? From Magnets to Diamonds. Also a food court, outside there is a whole play area for the kids complete with sitter! That way you can shop in peace! A nature center and Bumper boats outside.

grandmaR Says: We happened to be in Fort Myers at about the same time as they were celebrating Thomas Edison's birthday. They had dedicated the statue under the Banyon Tree in the parking lot the day before. The HAM radio club had places set up both in the parking lot and in the grounds of...
STOLEN CARS AND HUNGRY ALLIGATORS
babybird Says: Although it does not have nearly the track record of violent crime that Miami has, there ARE incidents in the Ft Myers area. Mainly, it is a mecca for property crimes. Car theftsare rampant in ALL parts of the metro. Even in broad daylight, it is a good idea to havea "club,"...
Traffic very difficult on US 41 at peak hours.
jgadinski Says: During Peak hours even on the off season US Route 41 also known as Cleveland avenue and South Tamiami trail which goes through The city of Fort Myers and South to Bonita Springs could be very difficult. The problems I have seen are first of all many tourists dont know where...
babybird Says: Pack as lightly as you can. You don't want to die of heatstroke lugging a lot of clunky bags or suitcases. Besides you can buy almost anything you would need if you forget an item. In general, unless you are coming in stormy weatheror December thru early March, you will not...
grandmaR Says: This Banyan Tree is in the parking lot area in front of the ticket office, and one does not need to have a ticket to look at it. It has a statue of Edison underneath of it. The tree was given to Edison by Harvey Firestone after he saw one on a trip to India. When it was...
laguizz Says: Visit the Lee County Manatee Park where its easy to see wild manatees.Tehpark is on State Road 80, Ft. Myers, FL.
3 Reviews The City of Fort Myers, which runs the Edison Ford Museum complex also owns a marina quite nearby. I have not stayed at or used this marina. Their website says: "We boast of the largest floating breakwater on Florida's Gulf Coast with 131 Floating Slips to make access to your vessel easy...
4 Reviews The Edison House is now owned by the city of Ft. Myers, and they do an excellent job of keeping it well maintained. It's located right next door to the summer house of Henry Ford, who was a close friend of Edison's, and the two homes are really part of the same "complex". The real attraction however...
2 Reviews There is a nice Welcome Center at the Shell Factory. If you need any information about things to do or places to eat, the Welcome center is the place to go. What ever you need to know, they have the answer. You can also find coupons here!

Fort Meyers is known as the 'City of Palms'. The avenues lined with Royal Palm Trees is something that I remember from our previous visit in the 60s.
Situated in Florida's Lee County on the Caloosahatchee River, Fort Myers was originally built in 1850 after the Third Seminole War and named after Colonel Abraham Charles Myers;
Thomas Edison was an annual visitor to the gulf coast of Florida long before it was popular. He was quite a workaholic and so it was natural for him to build a replica of his New Jersey laboratory...
