"Great for canoeing and kayaking"
This is our most favorite spot to go canoeing. We pack up the kids, the coolers, the sunscreen, etc and set out for the day. The waters are always calm and you get to see some pretty interesting wildlife (plus as far as I know, no gators in the water). Every time we have gone, we always spot at least a few manatees in the water, which is pretty freaky to me! My husband enjoys it, but honestly it freaks me out to know that these huge creatures are right near my canoe. In any case, they are said to be gentle creatures.
Depending on when you go, make sure you bring lots of water for the kids as you can dehydrate very easily spending hours in the hot sun.
The park itself also includes a nice beach, with a cool little tram that takes you from the parking lot to the beach area. There are fishing spots as well and bike trails. The entrance is cheap and the area is so beautiful that it makes it all worth while. To see the most beauty though, you've got to watch a sunset here. Absolutely beautiful!!

"Fun with the Family"
It makes a great getaway beach destination while offering the convenience of picnicking facilities and nature activities. A tram or footbridge takes you to the beach and over a mangrove estuary. Kayak and bike rentals are available, plus there are camping and food concessions. This is a good place to spot ospreys, collect shells, and have a picnic.
As headquarters for a major shrimp fleet, Fort Myers Beach serves the freshest of seafood. Every March it celebrates its briny harvest with the Fort Myers Beach Shrimp Festival. Festivities include a blessing of the fleet, parade, and shrimp boil. For more information call (239) 454-7500.
