Things to do in Fort Myers

Fort Myers sits on the Caloosahatchee River at the heart of Southwest Florida, a fast-growing region where healthcare, construction, real estate and tourism lead the economy. Thomas Edison and Henry Ford chose the city for their winter homes, and the riverfront River District keeps a historic downtown feel with brick streets and restaurants. It is the spring training home of both the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins, and the gateway to Sanibel and Captiva, Fort Myers Beach, Cape Coral and Pine Island.
