Fort Myers Beach sits right on the Gulf, and there’s a lot to do without ever leaving the island: wide sugar-sand beach for swimming and sunset walks, boating and fishing straight off the water, dolphins and manatees that show up more often than you’d expect, and Times Square for casual dining, live music, and shopping once the sun goes down. Whether you’re after a full day on the water or a slow morning with coffee and a view, this stretch of coast gives you plenty of reasons to get out of the house.
