Set alongside the Gulf of Mexico on a bucolic barrier island, Fort Myers Beach offers mile after mile of white sand, palm trees, and shallow seas. The beach's location gives you access to both the surf and amenities like food and entertainment. You can always find space along the sea thanks to the shore's sizeable width here. Consider trying some of the waterfront activities like kayaking, parasailing, and paddleboarding, with supplies available from local rental shops and vendors.
