Ft Myers BeachesFt Myers beaches are so close to Cape Coral and go from party scene, to fun for families, to aaaahhhhh ........ quiet and relaxing.
Traffic can back up on the bridge, so it may take longer if it's spring break, the weekend, or after 11AM.
If you get there early enough in the morning you can save if you stay at the beach most of the day.
Teens and twenty-somethings like this part of the beach because of all the action.
This is where the pier is and the Lani Kai - a hotel popular with spring-breakers - and if you're looking for things to do in Ft Myers Beach ........ most of the beach shops, motels, hotels, vacation rentals, restaurants, cafes, and bars.
Come by boat and dock it in the water in front of the Lani Kai for a swim, relaxation, or parties with other boaters.
At this beach, you have access to public bathrooms, snack shop, and grills. It's less crowded, quieter, there's lots of white sand, and plenty of room for a game of frisbee or tug-of-war.
The parking lot is small, so you need to get there really early, say by 10AM, to get a spot ......... or wait and see if you get lucky. You pay $2 an hour through self-service machines. Another option for Ft Myers beaches is to try to park in the beach access lanes that go off of Estero Blvd, the main street that goes from one end of the island to the other. We haven't had too much success with that, but the one time I found beach access parking was about a mile south of the pier. The beach was so nice, not crowded at all, and we didn't have to pay for parking, however, there are no public bathrooms.
Resorts and hotels dot Estero Blvd and some of them offer parasailing ......... it's easy and fun, not scary at all!
We saw turtles and stingrays way off of the shore from way up in the sky. If you go to the beach between May and October, you need to know about the stingray shuffle. I took a video of some stingrays from The Beach Pierside Grill while we were having lunch:
Even though they are there all year round, they become more prevalent when the weather gets warmer. By shuffling into the water, your foot goes under any stingray that might be there rather than stepping on them and getting stung. If you are stung, clean the wound and apply heat ....... go to a doctor if you can't get the barb out. But don't worry about it, we've never been stung. If you want to see a another video of a stingray, go to my Lovers Key Beach page. We've also found sand dollars by digging our feet into the sand while we're in the water. And then there are the sand critters ........!
