3 Days in Fort Myers for First Timers

Organisiert von Nick Dauka travel writer based in Florida.

Southwest Florida treats first-time visitors like old friends. Whether you’ve explored other regions of the state or if this is indeed your first time in the Sunshine State, you’ll have every opportunity to see why this area is such a desirable place to live.

Fort Myers sits on the Caloosahatchee River, holding hands with the water all the way down to the Gulf shore. The city draws a diverse crowd: from adventure seekers who love fishing and riding jet skis to those who love the laid back nature of beach bumming and catamaran cruising. Get to know Fort Myers in three days and see which crowd you fit into best.

The sun shines on Southwest Florida, so dress for beachy days even in the city.

If you only have time for one thing, make it an excursion into the Everglades.


Day 1

Day one in Fort Myers is all about exploration and getting the lay of the land. Start with a guided walking tour of the city, where you’ll learn about the history of Fort Myers, along with suggestions for what you can do during your stay.

You may hear Sanibel and Captiva Islands mentioned during your walking tour. These two sundrenched islands are within a short drive. If you’d like to explore every beach, boutique, and restaurant, consider renting a street-legal golf cart during your visit.

Day 2

Get to know the wild side of Florida on your second day with a half-day tour of Big Cypress National Preserve. You’ll hop in a private swamp buggy and explore this captivating area where bears, panthers, gators, and more reside.

You can’t say you’ve truly been to the Gulf Coast without taking a sunset cruise. With a drink in hand, cruise along Fort Myers Beach with a drink in your hand and a smile on your face.

Day 3

Before you wave goodbye, spend your final days in Fort Myers embracing its in-shore splendor. A private fishing charter will cruise you through the backwaters, barrier islands, and river in search of snapper, snook, and so many other fish.

Hopefully, you still have some arm strength left after reeling in the big one. Make your last activity in Fort Myers an educational yet exciting eco tour then sit on Bunche Beach and find a seashell worthy of taking home.
