Best Luxury Hotels in Fort Myers
The shallow waters of Fort Myers make it a gathering place for natural shells; more varieties than anywhere on this continent ensure it’s a go-to for shell collectors. And of course, shallow beaches are perfect for safe paddling. Thomas Edison and Henry Ford had winter homes here, both of which can be seen (Seminole Lodge and The Mangoes respectively). Fishing and shopping are popular pursuits in this safe city and you can explore the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge. With a tropical savanna climate, Fort Myers is a temperate year-round getaway for sun-seekers.
