Fort Myers Beach is the perfect Florida Beach Town. It combines family vacations with fun and nightlife. The Town Square near the pier is a great people-watching spot and there are many beach access points along Estero Boulevard.

The Gulf Coast in Lee County is famous for its white sandy beaches, sheltering coastline and numerous islands that are ideal for sunbathing, shell collecting or romantic sunset strolls. The following beaches and parks are some of the best.

- Bowditch Point Regional Park is a 17.5-acre park that includes a spot for group gatherings, a bathhouse and a boardwalk leading to a picnic area and the beach.

- Bunche Beach is a 715-acre facility in a natural tidal wetlands area with a sandy beach, mangrove forest, and salt flats that are ideal for wildlife viewing.

- Fort Myers Public Beach has more than 30 beach access points onto developed, as well as secluded, pristine stretches of shoreline. Many are near restaurants and cafes.

- Dog Beach Park allows dogs to roam free in a beautiful beach setting, but no restroom facilities or running water for humans.

- Bonita Beach Park between Fort Myers Beach and Bonita Springs is a 2.5-acre beachfront park with boardwalk and swimming area. Sand dunes and coastal vegetation surround a gazebo and eight picnic shelters.

- Bowman's Beach, the most popular at mid-island Sanibel, offers plenty of room to stretch out and claim your own private spot for swimming or shelling. There are picnic areas with barbecue grills, trails, showers and restrooms.

- Captiva Beach has been called "one of the most romantic beaches." This quiet beach offers wonderful sunset views. Portable restroom facilities on site.

- Cayo Costa State Park, one of the largest barrier islands in Florida, is accessible only by boat. Its unique vegetation has gone unspoiled for centuries. It’s ideal for camping (camp sites as well as cabins), swimming, shelling and fishing.

- Sanibel and Captiva Islands have balanced growth with concern for nature and wildlife. It is world famous for shelling, fishing, and the J.N. "Ding" Darling Wildlife Preserve.

- Cape Coral’s Riverfront sandy beach is tucked behind Sanibel near the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River. Its public fishing pier is open to residents and visitors year round. Amenities include BBQ grills, picnic shelters, restaurant, and a children's play area.

- Lover's Key, south of Fort Myers Beach, has wide sandy beaches, clean clear water, and the feeling of being away from it all - yet close to amenities and luxury hotels.

- Bonita Beach is the southernmost beach in Lee County. Public parking, restaurants and play equipment are available, and it's a great beach for strolling and enjoying the scenery.

- The Caloosahatchee River Waterfront is part of the downtown business community, and a popular recreation destination for fishing, waterskiing, sight seeing, and eco-tours. For the perfect finish to a Fort Myers day, watch the sun set over the Caloosahatchee!

After taking in a beautiful sunset you can enjoy the Fort Myers’ nightlife with its world class performing arts, numerous restaurants and inviting clubs and taverns. Whether you are interested in nature, history or fun things to do with the family, there are plenty of attractions in and around Fort Myers to suit everyone.
