Ft. Myers Beach
America's East Coast Beaches
featuring the Florida Beaches
We didn't stay at Ft Myers Beach very long, it was too hot and we were hungry.
Ft Myers Beach looked like a fun place to hang out, with lots of little shops, and places to eat.
We kept driving and then came to Bonita Springs Beach.
We ate lunch in Bonita Springs at a cute place called the Fish Market, and then turned around and headed back to Fort Myers beach.
My it was hot though, and parking was to be paid for, so we didn't stay long at Ft. Myers beach.
Along with little shops, there were cute brightly painted and decorated motels all along the strip, such as the Beacon Motel.
This is a picture taken as we were driving into Ft Myers beach. The beach entrance is straight ahead. Many little shops are to the right. It's the middle of the day and the area is not too busy. More than likely because of the heat.
There were many cottages on this strip for rent, and we definitely felt like we were here in the off season, and that most of the locals drove north for the summer.
