We went to this last year and yes, it is well worth visiting, the sculptures are amazing.

However what is also amazing is the TRAFFIC, it is truly horrendous.

Fort Myers beach is some 20+ miles from the sprawling city of Fort Myers and it is bumper-to-bumper stop/start traffic to get across a bridge. I would certainly recommend that anyone going take the Trolley, Lovers Key State Park is south of Fort Myers Beach and a lovely spot.
