Things to Do on Fort Myers Beach
Have Some Fun in the Florida Sun
Fort Myers Beach is best known for its emerald-green waters and sugar-white sand — but the fun doesn’t stop at the shoreline. From the Gulf to the back bay and all around the island, there’s an adventure waiting for every kind of explorer.
Get out on the water with fishing charters, boat rentals, or a pirate, dolphin, or sunset cruise. Chase dolphins on a wave runner tour, or rent a kayak and paddle the islands of our back bay along the Great Calusa Blueway. The list of things to do never ends — the adventure is all yours.
Prefer to stay on land? Go birding at the nature preserves and state parks just minutes away, or tour the island by bicycle or scooter. After a picture-perfect sunset — from your room, your beach blanket, or the deck of a cruise — take the kids for a round of mini-golf or a visit to the amusement park.
When the sun goes down, the island lights up. Check out who’s playing to find live musicians performing on and near the beach. You can also purchase a day pass and spend the day soaking up the amenities at one of our full-service resorts.
However you like to play, there’s something for everyone on and around Fort Myers Beach.
