 |
| Fort Myers Located on the banks of the Caloosahatchee Intercoastal Waterway just minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, is Fort Myers, the area's oldest city. Called the "City of Palms," it is rich in Old South ambiance and history. Once the winter retreat of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, their stately homes are among the area's most popular attractions. Both are located on McGregor Boulevard, a grand thoroughfare lined with over 1,800 majestic royal palm trees. The riverfront areas offer some of the best dining. Fort Myers also offers plenty of golf, shopping and museums. » Visit the website |
| Sanibel & Captiva Island Of the 100 barrier islands that make up Florida's Lee Island Coast, Sanibel and its neighbor Captiva are best known. Connected to the mainland by a dazzling three-mile-long scenic drive across a causeway from the mainland, Sanibel is known worldwide for it's shelling and the associated posture referred to as the "Sanibel Stoop." More than 400 varieties of shells decorate the beaches, particularly after an especially high or low tide. |
 |
| With so many different kinds of shells, it is no wonder that the area hosts the annual Sanibel Shell Fair, attended by thousands of shell enthusiasts from around the world. For most visitors, however, shelling is a delightful excuse to enjoy hours of sun worshipping along some of the most beautiful shoreline in North America and to absorb the unspoiled island atmosphere the natives so effortlessly maintain. » Visit the website | |
| Bonita Springs Bonita Springs is a beautiful, natural area just north of Naples, which has become very popular. Delightful homes and cottages line the beach and new golf course communities dominate interior lands. Enjoy great fishing and boating on the backwaters or walk the miles of pristine beaches both here and on surrounding barrier islands. » Visit the website |
| Cape Coral Surrounded by water, Cape Coral's natural beauty provides the perfect setting for fishing and boating enthusiasts. With an extensive system of waterways for boating and sightseeing, more than 400 miles of saltwater and freshwater canals complement the many lakes, basins and stunning Intracoastal waterfront areas. » Visit the website |
| Everglades Everglades, evolved through a unique combination of climate, vegetation and wildlife, are an ever-changing ecosystem. Only ninety minutes of Fort Myers Beach, Everglades are one of the most interesting and unusual swamp areas in the world. The Everglades extend from Lake Okeechobee to Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The northern part of the Everglades consists of a prairie covered by shallow water and by saw grass, a grasslike plant with sharp, jagged edges. |
 |
| Bustic, gumbo-limbo, live oak, mastic, and royal palm trees grow on mounds of higher land called tree islands. Near the southern coast, the Everglades become salt marshes and mangrove swamps, where the spreading roots of mangrove trees catch and hold soil. Many animals live in the Everglades. They include alligators, deer, fish, herons, pelicans, snakes, and the rare Florida panther. | |
| Several Native American tribes once lived hunter-gatherer existences in the Everglades. The shell mounds they built can still be seen. In the nineteenth century, the Seminoles, fleeing white settlers from the north, also lived peaceably in the area. As Florida's population grew, the damage caused by hunting, road building and draining for farmland gave rise to a significant conservation lobby. In 1947, a section of the Everglades were declared a national park, but unrestrained commercial use of nearby areas continues to upset the Everglades' natural cycle. | |
| The 1500 miles of canals built to divert the flow of water away from the Everglades and toward the state's expanding cities, the poisoning caused by agricultural chemicals from local farmlands, and the broader changes wrought by global warming could yet turn Florida's greatest natural asset into a wasteland. In 1999, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers introduced a 20-year plan to reconnect the various parts of the Everglades that have been fragmented by the building of artificial barriers and drainage canals. » Visit the website |  |
