Lehigh Acres, tucked away from the bustle of large cities, is a peaceful and affordable alternative to the more well-known Florida destinations. Located near Fort Myers and Sanibel and Captiva Islands, this quiet suburban community offers easy access to the international airport, beaches, and a myriad of southwest Florida attractions.

With 175 miles of canals and 16 well-stocked lakes, Lehigh Acres is a perfect destination for both fishing enthusiasts and beginners alike. Largemouth bass are plentiful, and the area's fresh waters teem with bluegill, bream, catfish and pickerel as well. For a change of pace, the Gulf of Mexico and its nearby barrier islands provide spectacular saltwater fishing opportunities, where grouper, mackerel, redfish, snapper, snook and trout abound.
For a challenge on the green, visit one of Lehigh Acres' three championship golf courses. Spotted with lakes and ponds, traversing marshlands and threading through native woodlands, these courses are a great place to experience what it's like to live the real Florida lifestyle.
With parks, lakes, tennis, and safe roads for bicycling or walking, this charming suburban enclave is the ideal retreat for families or seniors seeking an affordable and laid-back vacation. |

Fort Myers Beach on the Flip Side

As dusk turned to nightfall, we slipped away from the spirited, boisterous scene and headed to a quiet dinner table for two in Chloƫ's restaurant, at the flip-side, ivory-tower sanctuary of DiamondHead Beach Resort.

Under the Boardwalk
By Sam Dolson |

"Downtown" Hollywood is undergoing a modern makeover, but at Hollywood Beach, the Broadwalk wears its history proudly. There's a timeless appeal to the visitors' strolling, shopping, playing and dining before the open sand and the Atlantic Ocean. It's a haven for people and people-watchers of all ages.
