City of Fort Myers

For visitors looking for family fun, outdoor adventures, or just a patch of white sand to relax in the Florida sunshine, there's Fort Myers.

Start with a boat. There are island destinations such as Sanibel and Captiva, world-renowned for their Gulf of Mexico beaches and brilliant seashells. There are sea birds and raptors and resident dolphins at havens such as Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge. This region is a paddlers' playground, with the Calusa Blueway among the many kayaking options.

Plan your trip to Fort Myers:

ISLANDS

To fully appreciate the waterways around Fort Myers and its Gulf coast beaches and the hundreds of islands, set sail.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Welcome to the Seashell Capital of the World. Don't be alarmed by all those people stooped over on the beach. They're hunting for treasure.

FAMILY FUN

Two of America's most greatest innovators, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, chose Fort Myers as their winter homes and as an extension of their friendship.
