2 Reviews Wow, this place is great. Small local restaurant, but big on food and service. They have clam bellies, scallops, and all other fresh seafood. If you like New England style food, casual and good this place is for you. Very casual restaurant but the best food I've ever tasted. The Pirates Pleasure. It...
The Rush Coffee & Tea Shop: The Rush Coffee & Tea
SusanBill Says: I love tea but can never find a good place here in Florida. To have a good tea we always go downtown Boston where they specialize. Recently I found The Rush Coffee & Tea Shop at Gulf Coast. Great selection of either loose leaf or bagged teas, also have some cute tea pots for...
doug48 Says: ichabod's is a replica irish pub in south fort myers. really more of a restaurant than a bar but i am posting this as a nightlife tip because of the popular bar in the restaurant. good import beer selection. a fun place to eat and drink when in fort myers. business casual.
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.
PeterVancouver Says: Westjet are offering a direct flight now from Toronto direct to Ft Myres at a cost each way of approx Canadian $150.00 + tax
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.
doug48 Says: the bell tower shops is the most upscale shoping center in fort myers. the bell tower shops has a saks fifth ave. and a number of better specialty stores. there is a crowne plaza hotel connected to the shopping center as well as several restaurants and bars. the bell tower...

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,"...
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: The Six-Mile Cypress Slough Preserve is located very near to Ft. Myers. It is as beautiful as the more famous Corkscrew Preserve, but much closer. If you enjoy wilderness areas this is a “must see”. A 1.2-mile boardwalk lets you visit the site easily, without damaging plants...
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...
6 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!
