Walking and Biking

You’ll find many areas, such as downtown neighborhoods, shopping plazas and along the islands and beaches, that are great for walking and biking. Staying at a hotel in these areas makes it easy to walk or bike to everything you need, from restaurants and shops to attractions and nightlife. It's a fun way to explore, lesson your carbon footprint and exercise. Some accommodations even offer free bikes with your stay, or you can rent one from a local bike shop.

Riding in the golf cart


Golf Carts

Renting a golf cart is another fun way to explore if you’re staying on Captiva Island, Pine Island or Gasparilla Island. 

Renting an Electric or Hybrid Vehicle

You can find online charging stations during your stay on Google Maps, or use websites like PlugShare and ChargeFinder, which let you search for fast chargers and types of chargers so you can make sure it’s the right charger for your vehicle. 
 

Trolley


Public Transportation

If you’re flying into Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), choose to stay at one of several hotels that offer a free shuttle service to and from the airport. You can also take advantage of public transportation throughout the area by LeeTran. It also offers transportation to and from RSW, as well as routes to beaches, parks and other public attractions. Its electric trolley and tram system runs in downtown Fort Myers, North Fort Myers and makes frequent stops along Fort Myers Beach. The LeeFare app offers an easy way to find routes, plan your trip and pay.


 

Trip-Planning Inspiration

We love our resident sea cows so much that we dedicated the last Wednesday of every March to Manatee Appreciation Day. Yet

Sea turtles are a precious part of the ecosystem around Fort Myers. From May to October, you can be a positive part of their story

We are thankful for the many local organizations who dedicate their time and resources to help keep our nesting sea turtles safe
