Located on Estero Island, and 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.
