Plan a restful and rejuvenating trip to Fort Myers.

Fort Myers – Islands, Beaches and Neighborhoods is an easygoing destination with nearly 600 miles of natural coastline, including more than 100 coastal islands and 50 miles of seashell-strewn beaches. Your clients can relax on white-sand beaches, drift along peaceful paddling trails, explore thriving neighborhoods, and indulge in fresh-caught seafood. Explore what makes the greater Fort Myers area the perfect place for your clients to recharge and reconnect.

Wellness travelers can get closer to nature and wildlife in serene parks and preserves. Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve has a one-mile boardwalk through intermingled wetland and upland ecosystems. The Great Calusa Blueway, a 190-mile marked paddling trail, meanders through mangrove forests and past historical sites. Just a short drive away is Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, where visitors can explore the largest old-growth bald cypress forest in North America. 

Beachgoers will find our white sands to be nothing short of a tropical paradise. Visitors should spend at least one day visiting coastal islands like Cabbage Key, North Captiva and Boca Grande, many of which are only accessible by boat. Book them a spot on one of several charters, arrange a private tour or rent them a boat. Natural settings and secluded beaches will have them feeling like they’re worlds away. 

While in Fort Myers, nourish the body with farm-to-table food. Your clients can visit Buckingham Farms, an 80-acre property growing and serving its own harvest. Don’t forget the fresh seafood served at area restaurants, including pink gold shrimp, which are native to the Gulf of Mexico and freshly caught year-round. Delight their senses and surprise their palates with fresh, local fare.
