Estero Island is often referred to as the world's safest beach, Fort
Myers Beach has a wide shoreline that gently slopes into the Gulf of
Mexico. An absence of steep drop-offs makes it an ideal spot for family
vacations.

At the north end of the beach, a casual beach village with shops and
restaurants clusters along a tree-lined pedestrian walkway. The south
end of the beach hosts a wide selection of beach front resorts in
addition to Lovers Key State Park. In between, there are parks,
recreation areas and marinas where you will find fishing and boating
charters that include daytime sightseeing, evening dining and dancing
as well as offshore gambling. You'll also find every imaginable water
sport available, including jet skiing, parasailing, wind surfing, sailing,
water skiing and more.

Activities aren't confined to just the Gulf side of the island. The
Matanzas Pass Wilderness Preserve overlooks Estero Bay with more
than 40 acres of live oak hammock and 4,000 feet of mangrove
shoreline. Visitors enjoy an abundance of wildlife from an elevated
boardwalk.

Fort Myers Beach enjoys a reputation for friendly folks, a wide,
palm-shaded beach, and great family vacations
