Connected to the festive bustle of Fort Myers Beach via the Matanzas Pass, your coastal escape sits on Estero Island, a barrier island offering a bounty of nature and beauty. Watch for manatees and bald eagles at Lovers Key State Park. Meander under the canopy of mangroves. Hike, swim and admire the panoramic bay views at Bowditch Point Park. Stroll through Fort Myers’ downtown historic district to see the Edison and Ford Winter Estates or marvel at the Georgian Revival style at the Murphy-Burroughs House. Close to Naples, Sanibel Island, and Bonita Springs, Fort Myers is also convenient for exploring Everglades National Park.
