Fort Myers, Florida offers small-town charm with
big-city amenities. Seven miles of white, sandy beaches and unlimited
sunshine make Fort Myers an exceptional place to live, work, and play.
Downtown Fort Myers is the governmental center of
southwest Florida, it offers an eclectic blend of activities and
sites: arts and crafts shows, farmers' markets, block parties, night
clubs, assorted shops, restaurants, convention center events, and next
to the Caloosahatchee River, Centennial Park and the Yacht Club.
The Caloosahatchee River, which flows into the Gulf
of Mexico, may be navigated across the state. A boating paradise, Fort
Myers and vicinity have a multitude of islands, inlets, and keys. At
Boca Grande Pass, dubbed " the Tarpon-fishing Capitol of the
World," sport fishermen cast their lines for trophies while
bottle-nosed dolphins and manatees frolic nearby.
Boating and fishing are only a few of the
sporting events available in Ft. Myers. The Minnesota Twins and the
Boston Red Sox visit Fort Myers for their spring training camps.
Southwest Florida boasts the most holes of golf per capita in the
United States. Equestrian events are also available.
Fort Myers is not just a vacation Mecca. It is a
respected center of business and higher education. Florida Gulf Coast
University, the state's tenth university, opened its 760-acre campus
in 1998. Fort Myers is a blend of diversity, tranquility, business,
education, and pleasure.
