It’s rated as one of the top snowbird destinations. Its casual and summery. Its got plenty of beach side bars and eateries – places you can walk in with bare feet wearing just your swim suit. Its got large public beach sections with nice facilities. Its popular with families and snowbirds. The beach is flat, great for walking and people watching. All the things I like about Fort Myers Beach.
The RV park where I’m staying for the winter (San Carlos RV Park) is a mile from the beach. I’ve been biking over a few times a week and just hanging out. Its definitely the easy life. We got here just prior to the Christmas holiday and the beach has been packed with holiday vacationers. Here’s some pictures of what it looks like. No spectacular shots – just some images to show what it’s like.

Walking on Fort Myers Beach
So far, we’re enjoying our stay. The weather has been great. It’s been in the 80’s during the day and down in the 60’s at night. I’ve been wearing shorts and tee shirts each day since we got here. Not bad for December.
Here a short video that I put together on Fort Myers Beach.
Hopefully, the crowds will thin out after New Years. We have yet to get over to Sanibel and also want to take a trip on the Express Ferry down to Key West.
We’ll be posting more updates, so stay tuned.
