Fort Myers Beach in December will always offer lots of sunshine and balmy temperatures, plenty of visitors to the island, and of course some special events.
The 22nd annual Fort Myers Beach Christmas Boat Parade is eagerly anticipated by many area residents and visitors alike, for good reason.
Saturday, December 3, 2011 is the date, and the fun begins at 6:10 p.m. for the two hour parade.
Participants decorate, dress up and adorn their boats with lights and other holiday designs, than parade through the area with a two hour tour of Matanzas Pass, Siesta Isles and Ostego Bay asthey are cheered all along their route by the watching crowds.
Here are some suggestions for a great place to watch the festivities:
You can be where the action is at the start of the parade at Salty Sam's Marina, have some refreshment at Bonita Bills, enjoy the lighted boat tour at the Pink Shell Resort at the north end of Estero Island, or sip a drink outdoors at Nervous Nellies, just to name a few.
You could remain at Salty Sam's Marina and head over for the Winners Circle award presentations at Big Game.
