About Fort Myers Beach

Fort Myers Beach is a town on Estero Island, on Florida's Gulf Coast. The Calusa lived on the island for thousands of years before modern settlement, and the area was once known as Crescent Beach before becoming Fort Myers Beach. The town is built around sand, bars, fishing, vacation rentals, and a beach-town main strip, but recent hurricane recovery is also part of its current reality. Fort Myers Beach feels casual, salty, and resilient, with tourism and rebuilding always visible.
