Fort Myers Beach
Has anyone ever been to Fort Myers Beach? It looks beautiful! I have 2 small boys 4 & 6 and I would love to go to a nice relaxing family beach with other things to do nearby but not amusement park type things. I have airline mile and my husband works for a hotel so I could get a great deal here but I would like to hear more about it from someone first hand. Do you think it would be good with kids? Thanks!
Re: Fort Myers Beach
My in-law's have done Christmas family trips to FMB a couple of times in the past. Unfortunately, trips thus far haven't included kids, but I can tell you that it was extremely family oriented w/ lots of kids there. BUT not too many to make it super annoying to the childless families (us).
Sorry, hope that made sense.
Basically, I think that it's very child-friendly w/out being overtly annoying. We mostly golfed for our non-beach activities, so I apologize I can't inform you there. But all in all, I'd definitely recommend!
We went with our girls when they were 3. We had a good time.
FMB is kind of cheesy (a number of obscene t-shirt shops, goofy bars, run-down hotels). However, it's actually a great vacation for small children. Lots of family-friendly restaurants and a really nice beach. We stayed at Pink Shell, which was great for families. It has nice pools for small children (zero entry and a splash park), a nice beach, and lots of condo-type options.
We mostly hung out at the beach and pool. We did do a dolphin boat cruise (unfortunately, I can't remember the company we used). Also, you could do a day trip to Sanibel/Captiva - which is beautiful (also having a lot of family-friendly options). Good luck with your plans!
