About Fort Myers Beach
Fort Myers Beach is a small beach town on Estero Island, built around its seven miles of Gulf shoreline and the lively Times Square district at the north end. Housing is mostly condos, beach cottages, and vacation rentals, with ongoing rebuilding following Hurricane Ian's 2022 landfall. It is the region's classic spring-break and snowbird beach town, denser and more casual than Sanibel to the north.
