[mu11en]

opinions welcome please.

Nice beach but a little bit tacky in parts. For me, the best thing about it is the causeway to Sanibel & Captiva.

Visit the Edison & Ford museum. Very interesting.

Fort Myers is a large sprawling area, the beach is around 20 miles from what one would consider the centre of Fort Myers.

I have to agree with the above posts, some very nice parts to Fort Myers but a large urban sprawl.

We usually visit for one day during our trips out to the villa and as Katy's Grandad says the beach area is on the tacky side for my tastes.

It depends on what you are looking for; there are many beautiful areas of coastline on the gulf side most of which are within striking distance of Fort Myers.

fort myers is off the list, looking at clearwater also

I presume you are looking for a villa; there are several Gulf Coast villas available through this site - find the Gulf Coast villas section.

Mark, I would strongly suggest that you look at some of the Gulf Coast villas before making up your mind about where to stay. There are some fantastic properties available - in fact we have promised ourselves that we will book one as soon as we can tear ourselves away from our Orlando villa. Many of them are close to the beach, and have stunning views.

We do not like Clearwater much, ourselves, as we think it is too busy, but there are some simply amazing places to visit in the Rotonda area, and some wonderful villas to stay in.

If you want something different from Orlando, Sanibel & Captiva islands are the places to go.
