Fort Myers Beach, Bonita Springs and Sanibel
The castaway island of Sanibel is the perfect choice for those seeking a slower pace of life. There are no advertising hoardings or neon signs, just lush, unspoiled scenery with wildlife galore and beautiful beaches. These islands are connected to the mainland by a 3-mile long causeway that stretches from the south western reaches of Fort Myers across San Carlos Bay. The area is also becoming a hot spot for golfers with some beautiful courses. Fort Myers is located on the Caloosahatchee River, and is the oldest city in Lee County. Historic Downtown brings back the flavour of old Florida. This area is a more lively option with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, plus enough attractions to keep the whole family entertained!
