Ft. Myers Overview

If you enjoy the sun and the surf, there's no place quite like Ft. Myers, Florida. From beaches to nightlife, this city has it all in one little package. It's a perfect location for those looking for a mid-sized city that incorporates all the excitement one finds in a metropolitan area as well as the laid back relaxing vibe of a beach community. Plan on enjoying warm breezes and the sunshine all year long. There's no cold season here. It's all palm trees, white sandy beaches, and pelicans as far as the eye can see.

What is the history of Ft. Myers?

As far back as 1513, the beaches of Ft. Myers have been a stopping ground for explorers and settlers. Ponce de Leon was one of the first but was then followed byCuban and Spanish settlers who built fishing camps on the coast. In the 1700's pirates used the area as a base, and by 1821 the United States federal government built a fort here. In fact, Ft. Myers saw fighting between the Union and Confederate soldiers in 1865.

How is the weather in Ft. Myers?

If you're looking for four seasons, you've come to the wrong place. Instead, Ft. Myers is sunshine lover's paradise. You can expect an average high of 75 degrees in January and an average high of 92 in July. There's plenty of humidity here as well, but the breezes off the Gulf of Mexico will help keep you comfortable. Ft. Myers has an average rainfall of 55 inches. You'll experience most of the rain during the summer and fall months.

How do I get around town?

The city is home to the Southwest Florida International Airport which does offer a shuttle service. Near the beach, you can plan on walking to shops and restaurants as well as art galleries. Bus service is available through the LeeTran system, but the service time changes depending on the time of year, and there are taxis available as well.

What is the Ft. Myers commute like?

While Ft. Myers is a smaller city, with only about 63,000 residents, ironically locals here have the longest commute in the state of Florida, an average of 28 minutes. This isn't due to the amount of traffic. Instead, it is a product of the distance most residents drive to get to work. Forty-five percent of drivers drive over 30 miles to their job location. Major highways in the area include the Florida State Road 876, 31, and Interstate 75.

What are the local media outlets?

There's nothing like relaxing on the beach catching up on the news or listening to music. You can do both in Ft. Myers. Radio stations include WIKX country, WXNX rock, and WINK adult contemporary. You can stay up on current events with the News-Press and River Weekly News, as well as the Tampa Tribune.

For singles or families, there is a little bit of something here for everyone.

What Ft. Myers landmarks should I see?

From the Edison and Ford Winter Estates for history buffs to the CentruyLink sports Complex for sports fans, you can please the whole family. The Ft. Myers River District provides a great view of the water and McGregor Boulevard is a wonderful place to take a drive and enjoy all of the palm trees that Ft. Myers is famous for.

What is there to do around Ft. Myers?

"If you're looking for something to do in Ft. Myers, look no further than the J.N. ""Ding"" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. It's 8,000 acres of tropical wildlife and mangroves, and if that's not enough, Manatee Park will give you an opportunity to check out the cows of the sea. For some indoor fun, spend an afternoon at the Imaginarium Science Center and enjoy a hands-on aquarium as well as a dinosaur dig demo."

Any annual festivals or Ft. Myers events to know?

Unlike up north, most festivals and carnivals take place in the fall and winter in Ft. Myers. In September there's the Big Orange Music Festival and in February the whole family can enjoy the Southwest Florida & Lee County Fair. In October, nearby Cape Coral plays host to the Cape Coral Bike Night. Finally, in August there's a Surfside Sunset Market at the Shops at Surfside.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?
