Explore Fort Myers Beach
Times Square
5 Reviews
Most of Fort Myers Beach is laid back, with quiet beaches, small cottages, motels, and come condos. However, the intersection of San Carlos Boulevard and Estero Boulevard is so busy, with its nightlife, shopping, and entertainment, that it has come to be known as Times Square. This is the heart of...
The Beach
6 Reviews
Not the prettiest beaches in Florida, but will full fill the basic beach bum needs. A nice pier in the busiest part of the beach. More of a younger crowd, if that is your thing. So have fun, look at the hotties and use plenty of sun screen.
The Sunsets
3 Reviews
There is a splendid sunset almost every evening on Fort Myers Beach. People come out onto the beach just to watch it. You can say "a sunset is a sunset" but that's really not the case. Depending on cloud formation and weather conditions, some are more spectacular than others... but they are all very...
Ft. Myers Beach Air Show
1 Review
The Fort Myers Beach Air Show takes place in May every year. We always get to see the planes coming over the beach at the quiet end of the island, on their way to and from SW Florida International Airport, but last year we decided to go to the centre of the action.
We took the Island Trolley to the...

Snug Harbor
3 Reviews
Well we just got back from this place and I can tell you that we should have went to the place next to it. So we gave Snug Harbor a shot...The lady at the front counter acted and looked like her life was about to end and why are we wanting to eat there? The food started out average and soon became...
Smokin' Oyster Brewery (SOB)
Ewingjr98 Says:
Smokin' Oyster Brewery, or SOB for short, is about three blocks off the beach, so perhaps not quite as touristy as some of the places overlooking the water. We arrived on a Thursday evening about 9:30 or 9:45, just before the kitchen closed, and we left the restaurant and...
Sunsets
2 Reviews
Here's a few more sunset photos, we made it to several sunsets and I tried to get a little artsy with the shots to add some subject. After the sun goes down everone claps and starts off on the nights adventure, be it shopping, drinking, eating, fishing or watching the entertainers in Time Square....

Boating

The Key West Express is a Catamaran to Key West. It is the Best way to get to Key West! The tickets are resonable and it is definately cheaper and faster than driving there. I went last month with my mother and my friend and we had a BLAST. Everyone was very nice and the crew were very...

Miromar Outlets
AnnS Says:
Miromar Outlets is a nice experience for leisurely shopping. It's set out like a Mediterranean-style village with cafes, seats and fountains amongst the shops. There are over 100 shops, selling well-known brands at factory prices. Open Monday to Friday: 10:00am - 9:00 pm;...
BEACH SEAFOOD MARKET: MARKET & RESTAURANT
LoriPori Says:
Our friend Dana took us to BEACH SEAFOOD MARKET to get some jumbo shrimp for an appetizer before dinner. What a neat place. On one side (right) is the Market where all sorts of fresh fish and seafood is displayed. On the other is the restarant part where you can pick out...
The Beach
1 Review
Now we love to hunt for sea shells no matter where we go, but the Gulf always provide a good booty. the best island is Sanibel by far, then Captiva and Fort Myers Beach is not far behind. So bring your water shoes and look carefully along the waterline and you're bound to find some jems of your own....
The Shrimping Industry
Ewingjr98 Says:
Estero Island, home of Fort Myers Beach, has always had a fishing industry. 2,000 years ago, Calusa Indians constructed shell mounds from the oysters they harvested the bay. Around the 1600s, Cuban fishermen established a fishing village called a rancho on Estero Island,...
Sea Critters
2 Reviews
The ocean at Fort Myers Beach is very safe and very clean but you do need to be aware of possible dangers under foot. Stingrays are not always easy to see as they can bury themselves in the sand on the seabed. They don't take kindly to being stepped on and will sting if they are. The stings are not...
The beach
3 Reviews
Lived in Tampa/Clearwater area and absolutely loved it....Thought all of Florida Gulf coast would be as nice. Then I moved to Ft. Misery, what a disappointment. The beach waters are murkey due to the close proximity of the Coloosahachee River. And for some god forsaken reason the town leaders think...

TAKE A DRIVE TO NAPLES
LoriPori Says:
While in Fort Meyers, our friend suggested we take a drive to Naples, which is further south from Fort Meyers. What a beautiful town and posh. Everything there just shouts out money. From the beautiful, expensive homes to the ritzy downtown stores and restaurants. All...

There really is not dunes to speak of here but they do have dune grass that helps to protect the beaches so please obey the law. This does help and maybe our grandkids can enjoy the beach when they have kids too. Thank you!
SHRIMP BOATS
LoriPori Says:
Along the intercoastal side of Fort Meyers, you will find the SHRIMP BOATS. We went to a Seafood store to get some fresh jumbo shrimp and just behind the store were the boats. They were huge. Most were docked for the day already as they usually go out very early in the...
