KICK BACK
In Fort Myers, the sand is soft, the water’s warm, and relaxation is the only real item on the to-do list. Grab a dose of sun and sand at one of Fort Myers’ serene beaches. From the lively atmosphere of Fort Myers Beach to the shores of Sanibel and Captiva islands, you’ll find no shortage of postcard-perfect views. Spend the day shell hunting, swimming, or simply relaxing with your toes in the Gulf of Mexico. Cap off the evening with a beachfront dinner, where the sunset steals the show.
Or, indulge in the booming local craft beer scene. Favorite stops include Fort Myers Brewing Co., Coastal Dayz Brewery, and Millennial Brewing Co., where the atmosphere is just as refreshing as the beers. Many spots feature food trucks, live music, and outdoor seating, making it easy for groups to linger and enjoy the world-famous Florida sunshine.
TAKE A CRUISE
Explore Fort Myers from a new perspective—by boat! Charter a group cruise, hop aboard a dolphin-watching tour, or kayak through lush mangrove tunnels. The nearby Great Calusa Blueway offers more than 190 miles of marked water trails for paddlers to enjoy.
Feeling a little adventurous? Rent kayaks or paddleboards and explore the waterways at your own pace. Prefer a more leisurely experience? Relax on a sightseeing ferry ride around the islands, complete with stories of pirates, pioneers, and natural wonders.
GO FOR GREEN
Golf lovers, rejoice: Fort Myers is home to some of southwest Florida’s top courses. Play a round at Eastwood Golf Course, the beautifully natural Old Corkscrew Golf Club, or one of the many resort courses designed for players of every level. Whether you’re aiming for birdies or just enjoying the views, every course offers a scenic slice of Florida’s lush landscape—and the 19th hole is never far away.
