I wasn't born on Fort Myers Beach but I got here as soon as I could !   Actually, we moved here from Michigan about 5 years ago.   It is the next step on our journey.  Fort Myers Beach is a barrier island a little over 8 miles long and hugs the southwestern coast of the sunshine state.  Culturally diverse, friendly and laid back it has a rythem all it's own.  Many of our rental customers come back year after year.  Some decide to own a piece of our island paradise.  Thats where I can help.

Estero Island, our other name, has grown up and is recognized as a premier destination for visitors from all over the world.  Part of our attraction is the many diverse festivals which have become part of the fabric of island life.  All are family friendly and take advantage of our beaches and abundant sunshine.

The annual Sand Sculpting contest draws nationally known competitors  and takes splace during a week long event.  Visitors walk among the displays and chat with the artists.  Be sure to bring your camera !

The annual shrimp parade is always a favorite with plenty of marching bands, classic cars, floats and fun.

This was the first year for the Fort Myers Beach Art Assoc " Art on the Boulavard " .  Pirates invaded our island again this year and added to the family fun.  Maybe you should be a part of this next year.

Vollyball and rugby are played on some of our wide, sandy white beaches.  At the end of a long day take a relaxing walk along the beach and watch as the sun dips below the horizon.  As I like to remind friends and visitors :  Just another tough day at the office !

I played around on Fort Myers Beach one weekend when I worked in Tampa. I took a tour from Tampa to Naples and back, but I think most of my time was at fort Myers Beach.
