Over 1.8 million annual visitors enjoy the beaches, fishing, shopping, dining, golf, tennis and entertainment on the sandy shores. The Beach gained a reputation as the World's Safest Beach because of no undertow and shallow water. You can walk the entire 7-mile length of the island along its sandy shores.

The Beach hosts an Annual International Sand Sculpting Contest in November and the Shrimp Festival in March draws thousands to the Blessing of the Shrimp Fleet and a 5 kilometre run precedes the event.

A July 4th Fireworks Display and Old Fashioned Family Day sparks the annual Independence Day Festival. Golf tournaments, Taste of the Beach, Annual New Year's Eve Celebrations, Offshore Powerboat Races and other sporting events liven life on the Beach including the Beach Movie Theater.

Our Beachwalk Villa at Fort Myers is about 4 hours drive away from the theme parks of the Orlando area and this contrasts with the relaxing lifestyle and peaceful beauty of the Fort Myers area.

As short drive away are the magical islands of Sanibel and Captiva. You will be captivated by beautiful, alluring Captiva Island, where once, it is said, pirates roamed, conquistadors explored and Calusa indians called home. The mystery and adventure is still there. Treasures to be found in the way of a good life, spectacular white sand beaches scattered with "treasures from the sea", pastel colored seashells and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.

Captiva Island is the sister to larger Sanibel Island and is just over a small bridge which crosses at Turner Beach. Turner Beach is a great place for catching that prize fish and also for finding the colorful shells that these islands are famous for. The beach stretches 5 miles to the northern tip of Captiva Island at Redfish Pass. From the bridge at Turner beach, Captiva Drive is a scenic drive past giant cactus, colorful bougainvilleas and other tropical flora along a stretch of sea and sand ending at "downtown" Captiva.

Why not come and experience all of this for yourself.
