Since it is located right on the western coast of Florida, residents of Fort Myers can choose to visit an almost unlimited number of beaches in the area. There is Fort Myers Beach, which is a 7 mile long barrier island just south of Fort Myers that also contains the famous Estero Island. Across the bay, there is also the beautiful Sanibel Island and its Causeway Islands Park beaches.
But, Fort Myers doesn’t just offer the surf and the sand. There are plenty of other year-round outdoor adventures available through the numerous hiking and biking trails around the beaches and the mainland.
