Fort Myers Beach

Few communities in southwest Florida have a history as closely tied to fishing in Estero Bay as Fort Myers Beach. Occupying Estero Island, the town lies between the Gulf of Mexico and Estero Bay, where Matanzas Pass carries tidal water between the bay and gulf. Its long sandy beach and low-rise island setting contrast with mainland Fort Myers across the bay. The Mound House, built in 1906 on a Calusa shell mound, preserves evidence of far older Indigenous occupation as well as the island’s early settlement era.
