Fort Myers Beach: DiamondHead Beach Resort
Tucked along the Gulf of Mexico on Estero Island, Fort Myers Beach is a place whose character is shaped by its narrow barrier-island setting. DiamondHead Beach Resort stands on Estero Boulevard, the island’s main coastal road, beside the town’s long sandy Gulf shore. The resort district combines beachfront accommodation and open-air dining, while the waters of Estero Bay lie across the island. At the southern end, Mound House preserves a 1906 home built atop a Calusa shell mound, connecting the modern beach community with the island’s Indigenous past. Fort Myers Beach belongs to Lee County’s southwest Florida coast, between the Gulf and the protected bay waters behind Estero Island.

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.

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
