Let's Visit the Beaches in Ft Myers Florida!
The beaches in Ft Myers Florida are located between Naples and Sarasota
and offers you a "down to earth" type atmosphere for your vacation.
Located very close to
Sanibel and
Captiva Island (two wildly popular spots), we found Fort Myers to be
reasonably priced, and a good place to take a trip.
You will get the sun, fun, beautiful beaches, nature, and plenty of water activities
that you are accustomed to for any Florida vacation.
As a gateway to the Gulf Coast, the beaches in Ft Myers are rich in history
and activity for both
visitors and residents. So, let us travel down the Gulf Coast and see what Fort Myers Florida
is all about.
We spent a little time in Ft Myers, however a friend of mine
wrote about the few years he spent there. We will provide a bit of travel info here
and link to that page so you can get some first hand experiences.
Ft Myers Lodgings
Being a quieter spot, the beaches in Ft Myers aren't the build up of major hotel chains,
which can be a good thing or not.
The key here is to find a
vacation rental by owner or local hotel where they take
pride in their town and gorgeous beach community.
After doing some looking around here are a few we feel confident to recommend...
- Edison Beach House- a bit more expensive, but a great beach resort. You'll get
ocean views, clean rooms, a great place for small kids or a romantic getaway. Heck, the the owner
even lives there.
- Santa Maria Harbour Resort- located near the end of the island, you'll get a
quiet stay with very friendly people all around.
- Lovers Key Beach Club- quiet, clean, beautiful view, and within walking distance
to the beaches.
Also, there are a number of hotels for the budget traveler, but without inspecting them
personally and only hearing testimonials, we say look into them with caution.
Plus, there are a few other resorts that other travelers seem to speak highly of.
Among these are Diamondhead and Gulfwing Resorts.
We hope you enjoy the beaches in Ft Myers and find that perfect stay. Now, let us move
on to things to do and places to grub.
Ft Myers Action
You will enjoy a number of beach activities including, sunbathing, shelling,
parasailing, jet skiing, and more. The beaches in Ft Myers are more for the
nature lover and beach lover. You're not going to find theme parks or a lot
of wild times, but you will have a great Florida vacation with a little imagination.
You must visit Lover's Key State Recreation area- was featured on the travel channel
a number of times. Also, take some time to venture around Sanibel and Captiva Islands.
Also, there is your typical shopping, a few tours if you're interested in those,
and the Marina was pretty cool- do some fishing or boating.
Don't forget the drive up and down the coast to Naples or Sarasota and any
Florida beaches in the middle.
When we visited the beaches in Ft Myers, we took advantage of the area for it's most
spectacular attractions, the beaches & water. We recommend doing the same- you'll
love it!

Great food, happy hour, and atmosphere.
