Strolling through the downtown area of Fort Myers is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening. Art lovers are sure to find events of interest throughout the year, including an Art Walk held on the first Friday of each month all year long.  

Farther afield is Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, which offers a boardwalk trail that winds through 3500 acres of wetlands and offers views of local wildlife, including alligators and birds. Or continue south to take in a game at JetBlue Park, the spring training home of the Boston Red Sox.
