Fort Myers Lifestyle

As anchor of Southwest Florida's Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel, Fort Myers serves as a hub for assorted areas of distinct appeal, all adding up to a Tropical Island Getaway. Fabled Sanibel and Captiva islands, with pristine white sand beaches on their gulf sides and dense mangrove forests to the east, showcase surprisingly diverse ecosystems along with North America’s best shelling, great biking, hiking trails, and acre upon acre of wildlife sanctuary. In fact, Sanibel and Captiva are so eco-minded that laws prevent buildings being constructed higher than the tallest palm tree. On Estero Island, Fort Myers Beach (recognized among the "world's safest family beaches" because of its gentle slope into the gulf) is home to back bays, estuaries and lush mangrove forests for kayaking and bird-watching. Bonita Springs has freshwater fishing and shopping, and Cape Coral has a multitude of marinas, golf courses, and tennis. Crossing the bridge to Pine Island recalls days when fishing was the area's top industry. This quaint little isle, known for the "Fishingest Bridge in the U.S.A.,” continues as an angler’s paradise. Inland, Lehigh Acres offers miles of freshwater canals, 16 well stocked lakes with great fishing, tennis, horseback riding, hiking, biking trails, and three golf courses. On the banks of the Caloosahatchee Intercostals Waterway, Fort Myers’ status as the "City of Palms" is evident with a glance down McGregor Boulevard, lined with 1,800 majestic royal palms. Rich in Old South ambiance, Fort Myers yields year-round water sports, museums, historic tours, festivals, golf, theater and nature walks. Winter resident Thomas Edison, who enticed his friend Henry Ford to settle in next door along the riverbank, once declared “there is only one Fort Myers, and 90 million people are going to find out.”

Bacco

Visit “Bacco”, a Mediterranean style restaurant located in the heart of Fort Myers.  

“Bacco is one of the finest restaurants I have ever dined at.  The cuisine, catering and service is nothing short of top of the line.  The delicacies they offer entail and encompass every fish, shellfish and shrimp you could possibly imagine.  They also offer selected cuts of steak, chicken and pork that would make your mouth water.  I was overall 100% pleased with my visit to Bacco’s and look forward to dining there again if I ever travel to Fort Myers in the future.”
