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.
