More About Fort Myers
Why not travel to:
This west Florida vacation spot may be quieter than its party neighbors on the eastern side of the state, but it's no less interesting. In Fort Myers, the hustle and bustle you'll find in cities like Miami is replaced by family-friendly beaches and historic homes – like the Edison & Ford Winter Estates. Both historic figures are credited with transforming Fort Myers into the lush hideaway it is today.
Nature is also important in this city; dozens of wildlife and nature preserves are scattered throughout the area, including Manatee Park. Since most of the coastline is preserved land, beachgoers congregate on the narrow Fort Myers Beach. Another big draw to Fort Myers: spring training. Two major league baseball teams, along with their diehard fans, flock to the warmer weather to get a first glimpse at the upcoming lineup. With such a diverse offering, it's easy to see why the "City of Palms" rivals its larger neighbors in South Florida.
