9 SWFL Instagrammers You Simply Must Follow

By
Real Estate Agent with Records Results!Real Estate F3290596

One thing that I love about social media is how it lets you discover your own community. This is especially true with Instagram, where there’s an almost unending number of SWFL residents showing off everything our area has to offer. On the one hand, you can trek deep into the wilds of our outdoors, and on the other hand, you can check out some of the great restaurants and other amenities in the area. Of course, it’s also nice you can do so right from the comfort of your own home!

 

So, to ensure you’re well-connected to all the things our area offers, from real estate to events and places to visit, my real estate team has put together this list of must-follow Instagrammers for you. Now, this list is only a taste of what’s available, and if you’re looking for even more local resources, so you can learn all about what living here is like, we’re always happy to show you more.

 

Donpedroscottage

This little-known cottage by the shore is a fun follow for SWFL Instagrammers. Located on Don Pedro Island, it’s not just a wonderful place to stay, they also have some great photos to see and share.

 

The Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum

Another hidden gem in Southwest Florida, this museum is dedicated to one amazing thing: shells, shells, and shells. As a local Instagrammer, this account is filled with education and beautiful photos of Sanibel’s shores.

 

Whattodoswfl

This Southwest Florida native is giving you an inside view of what it’s like to live in Fort Myers. Her account is a really good opportunity to see it exactly as it is, from Millennial Brewing to Captiva Island kayaking.

 

Oldfloridaairboat

Remember when I said you could trek into the unknown with SWFL Instragrammers? Well, here’s an excellent example. They don’t post often, but when they do, it’s really awesome.

 

Theringling

Of course, we can’t leave off this local Instragrammer. The Ringling Museums are a treasure trove of history, art, gardens, and more. And the Instagram account is exactly the same!

 

Capt._jp

When you’re looking for a big paddle wheel boat, Captain JP is the account to turn to. The sunset photos are simply out of this world! Plus, you can even grab a tour yourself after browsing the account!

 

The Everglades

That’s right! You can follow the legendary River of Grass on Instagram. This Instagrammer is your chance to check out the largest subtropical wildness in the entire United States… and right here in our backyard.

 

The Edison & Ford Winter Estates

This one is an exciting backstage pass to these beautiful historic homes. From weddings to the first blossoming flowers of the season, you’ll discover how full of life SWFL really is.

 

The City of Fort Myers

And finally, one of my favorite Instagrammers: the city of Fort Myers herself. This one really gives you a window into what our paradise is all about. And you’re going to love every second of it!

 

Did we leave off any of your favorite Instagrammers? We’d love to hear who you’re following in Florida!

Instagram is a platform I haven't even created an account on.  Must get to it.

Hi Chris,

Thanks.

There are SO many, it's impossible to handle all - one needs to decide which ones work best for you.

Great idea....but I don't do Instagram....I just can't bring myself to add another place to check into on a daily basis.

Sharon,


I hear you! Like I said to Praful one has to decide which bring in results and leave the rest. The Social Media experts will tell that everything you do online helps you build a presence which is important. 


Good luck.

Terry Records - not into Instagram deep enough to get this - though I am sure it is a good idea to follow local events/places/people.

Hi Praful,


Time it limited for sure! So one needs to test these social media sites and see what works for you...then ditch the rest.


Have a great week.
