Planning a family trip to Fort Myers Beach? We’ve got you covered! Between the soft white sand, calm Gulf waters, and a Times Square that’s always buzzing, there’s no shortage of ways to fill a summer day here — and plenty of it doesn’t even require sunscreen reapplication.
Bowditch Point Park
At the quiet northern tip of the island, Bowditch Point Regional Park is a 17-acre stretch of beach, boardwalks, and nature trails with views of both the Gulf and the bay. It’s a favorite for families who want a little more room to spread out, with picnic tables, restrooms, and a kayak launch on site.
Lynn Hall Memorial Park & Times Square
Right in the heart of the action, Lynn Hall Memorial Park sits beside the fishing pier and Times Square, where shopping, dining, and ice cream stops are all just steps from the sand. It’s the easiest spot to mix beach time with a little bit of everything else.
Zoomers Amusement Park
When it’s time for a change of pace (or an escape from the midday sun), Zoomers Amusement Park delivers go-karts, mini golf, bumper boats, and an arcade — a solid rainy-day backup or an easy way to burn off extra energy after a morning at the beach.
