Welcome To Fort Myers Beach

Come Enjoy Our 7 Miles Of Pure Paradise

For generations, Fort Myers Beach has been a beloved destination for visitors from across the U.S., Canada, and around the world. Our guests return year after year to enjoy stunning beaches, a laid-back lifestyle, and the charm of our island community.

Fort Myers Beach offers a unique Florida vacation experience. Whether you prefer to unwind or embrace adventure, there’s something for everyone. Explore our pristine back bay by kayak—home to the largest population of Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins in the world—or take a relaxing sightseeing cruise to enjoy breathtaking Gulf of Mexico sunsets. Dolphin watching tours and boat charters also offer up-close encounters with local wildlife.

For shelling enthusiasts, Fort Myers Beach is a paradise. Take a guided tour to secluded islands and pristine beaches known for their abundant shells or enjoy the beauty of the coastline on your own.

Sunset cruises are a must-do activity—glide across the Gulf as the sky turns vibrant with colors. And if you love fishing, cast from the pier, hire a local guide, or take a charter for a day on the water.

History buffs will enjoy visiting the Mound House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This fascinating museum sits atop an ancient Calusa Indian shell mound and offers a glimpse into the island’s past with exhibits and guided tours.

Nature lovers won’t want to miss Lovers Key State Park, just a short distance away. This 712-acre park features secluded beaches, nature trails, and opportunities for birdwatching, kayaking, and hiking, all in a tranquil setting.

Our island stays lively year-round with events like the American Sand Sculpting Championship in November, the Shrimp Festival in March, and the Christmas Boat Parade in December. There’s always something exciting happening!

Whether you’re visiting solo, with family, or with your pet, Fort Myers Beach offers a range of activities to suit every taste. Fort Myers Beach is just seven miles long, making it easy to explore. Walk, rent a bike or scooter, or take the trolley—everything you need is just a short distance away. And of course, our wide, sandy beaches are waiting for you!

Once you arrive, stop by the Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center—“The Roxie”—at the base of the Matanzas Pass Bridge (1028 Estero Blvd).
