Sanibel Harbour Resort Bay View Tower 837: Unwind & recharge in the wrap-around lanai.

Basking in the glow of the Florida sun, Fort Myers is a haven for diverse experiences that cater to every traveler's taste. While it's often confused with its neighbor, Sanibel, known as the "City of Palms," Fort Myers has its own unique charm. Beach enthusiasts will find their paradise not within the city limits but on the nearby islands of Sanibel and Captiva. These islands are famous for their stunning seashells and offer miles of pristine sandy beaches perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and shelling. They provide a serene escape from the mainland hustle. History enthusiasts will be captivated by Fort Myers' rich past. The city was once the winter retreat for Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. Their estates have been transformed into intriguing museums where you can explore their homes, gardens, laboratories, and exhibits showcasing their inventions. Nature lovers won't be disappointed either. The Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve is a 3,500-acre wetland offering walking trails through lush vegetation teeming with wildlife. Manatee Park is another must-visit spot where you can see these gentle giants in their natural habitat during winter months. Downtown Fort Myers offers cultural experiences with its vibrant arts scene. The River District comes alive during Art Walks as local artists display their work in galleries and along streets. The Florida Repertory Theatre stages top-notch performances ranging from dramas to musicals. Food connoisseurs will relish Fort Myers' culinary scene featuring fresh seafood straight from the Gulf of Mexico along with other Floridian specialties. From upscale dining establishments to casual beachside eateries, there's something to suit every palate. Sports fans may need to venture slightly outside Fort Myers city limits to catch Major League Baseball spring training games for teams like Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins at facilities located in nearby cities such as Cape Coral. Fort Myers beautifully combines natural allure with cultural richness and historical significance despite minor geographical clarifications. Its intriguing museums, vibrant arts scene, and delectable cuisine make it a destination worth exploring, even if its beaches and baseball are just a short drive away.
