1. Kayaking
Kayaking is a great way to experience the beautiful waters around Fort Myers Beach up close. You can take a guided kayak tour, or you can rent a kayak or a few for the family and explore on your own for the day. This is one of the more lively activities in Fort Myers Beach, and it can also double as some great exercise. Make it extra special by bringing some lunch for a picnic partway through the adventure, and don't forget to bring plenty of water.
2. Dolphin Tours
There's nothing more exciting than cruising out to find some wild dolphins dancing in beautiful San Carlos Bay. There are plenty of chances to do so, whether you're looking for a guided dolphin cruise through the waters or more of a hands-on experience with a paddle board. And don't forget about the other great wildlife you might find out in the bay; pelicans, sea turtles, and manatees abound, along with many other species you can see up close and in person.
3. Edison and Ford Winter Estates
Edison and Ford Winter Estates offers a wide variety of activities that take you back in time to the days of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. Both guided and self-guided tours are available every day (with an app available for audio on the self-guided tour), taking through the homes and gardens of this beautiful property where both of these famous men and their families spent time. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, special areas of the homes are available for tourists to see, and the property also offers a unique automotive tour, displaying antique and historic vehicles from a century ago and guided by an automobile expert.
4. Sunset Sailing
After a long day on the beach, shopping, or touring in town, take a few minutes to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Fort Myers Beach with a sunset sail. Experience peace as you unwind on the water, guided in a classic catamaran along the idyllic beach. If your evening is booked, you can always opt for the Copacetic Day Sail, which is one of those fun activities in Fort Myers Beach that's especially suited for families with children.
