Times Square, Fort Myers Beach

Beautiful beach! Nice and wide, not a narrow beach. Great place to sun, play, relax and the sunsets are gorgeous! I’ve never seen SO many rainbows and double rainbows in all my life! It will rain in one spot for about 30 minutes then rain itself out while the sun is shining! Just beautiful! There is red tide down here now. It was not red tide when we were vacationing in FT. Myers this June. It occurs naturally and has forever but it’s made worse from Lake Okeechobee. It moves up and down the coast. It’s best to check the county’s website for information where it’s at if you’re planning a vacation. Their site tells you if the water is cloudy, or smells so if you have respiratory problems. It doesn’t bother some people. Clearwater is pretty good right now. For sure check their web site if you’re planning a vacation. All the counties pick up the dead fish & they are working on new solutions that are successful for picking up the dead fish before they reach the shore. The red tide has moved so Sarasota has built a new sea wall to help replenish our fish! We were hoping Hurricane Michael would stir it up and move out but it didn’t. If there’s going to be a hurricane it would have been good to have one good thing come out of it! The people in the panhandle are having a Tough time. It’s devastating for them. If you can, donate in any way you can. You can send $10 to Red Cross or many other organizations. The animals need our help too.

Parking on fort Myers beach is a nightmare. There are as many lots as there can be and its reasonably priced.
