Fort Myers Beach, a small island off the southern gulf coast of Florida, is a laid-back beach getaway that offers a combination of casual beachcombing and bird watching, to adventure thrills like jet skiing, sailing and scuba diving. Fort Myers Beach also has a vibrant entertainment scene, with an array of restaurants, festivals and outdoor galas, such as the Summerset Sailboat Regatta over Labor Day weekend, and the Sandsculpting Championship Festival in early November.
