Fort Myers Things To Do
Beaches
Wonderful sandy stretches of beach welcome the holiday-maker to this Southwest Florida resort, from the lively Fort Myers lined with bustling hotels and colourful restaurants, to the quiet oasis of Sanibel and Captiva Beaches, full of natural character and an unspoilt charm.
Shelling
The area is a well-known shelling destination, with Sanibel in particular boasting a fantastic array of shells thanks to its unique position lying east to west in the Gulf of Mexico. The sands are ideal for beach-combing, and there are shelling excursions and boat charters, as well as a Shell Museum, factory and numerous shell shops.
Boating
Whether it’s a peaceful kayak down the regions waterways, an exciting dolphin-watching excursion, relaxing dinner cruise or sunset sail along the coast, there are boat trips to suit everyone in Fort Myers.
Fishing
Fishing is a major pastime here, with a good range of half-day, full-day and even overnight trips out into the Gulf to catch grouper, snapper, kingfish, mackerel and tarpon.

Water sports such as jet skiing, windsurfing, kite boarding, kayaking and parasailing are available in the area, as well as plenty of sailing.
Sports & Leisure
Golf and tennis can be played throughout the region, with mini-golf, biking, horse riding and even ice-skating on offer. Places of interest for a fun family day out away from the beach include The Planetarium, The Performing Arts Centre, and the Aquarium.
