Town permits for temporary trailers set to expire in September
By NATHAN MAYBERG nmayberg@breezenewspapers.com
As the third year mark post-Hurricane Ian approaches, so does the deadline for temporary trailer permits the town authorized for residents and businessowners after the devastating storm.
On Sept. 23, temporary use permits for residents and commercial uses, will expire.
“The purpose of these permits was to
provide means to operate a business or have a living space, all while rebuilding the structure that was lost,” Fort Myers Beach spokesperson Nicole Berzin said.
“As of right now, there has not been any discussions of an extension.”
The end of permits for trailers has alarmed business owners who fear they could potentially be put out of business.
Businesses like Buffalo Grill and La Ola at Times Square could be facing the loss
of their businesses.
The Goodz owner Graham Bellger has been working on plans to rebuild his hardware business since Hurricane Ian. He has been operating out of makeshift trailers across the street on property where the Sea Gypsy Inn previously stood. In addition to the hardware store, he has an ice cream trailer and gift shop.
Bellger was initially told by town officials that they were working on getting
New plans for Beach Theater
By NATHAN MAYBERG nmayberg@breezenewspapers.com
The Beach Theater will no longer be a movie theater under plans going in front of the Town of Fort Myers Beach Council next month. The plans now include a restaurant, steakhouse and live entertainment indoors and outdoors at the former movie complex at 6425
Estero Boulevard.
The Fort Myers Beach Local Planning Agency voted to recommend approval of the plans at a site which became the center of great controversy on Fort Myers Beach after Hurricane Ian, when mangroves were alleged to have been illegally removed.
The town fined the contractors over
the removal of the mangroves and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection has been working on a consent order with the owners of the property. The DEP has approved a permit for the owners to do work on the docks near where the mangroves were. The owners are also required to replant new
him more time for an extension but that no longer appears to be the case. In May, he was told that he could stay so long as the trailers could be removed with a light pickup truck. That led to him getting lighter trailers that could be removed with a light pickup truck.
“How does that make sense that they are going to have a good truck park here but we can’t (have trailers)?” Bellger said.

Property values up on Fort Myers Beach
By NATHAN MAYBERG nmayberg@breezenewspapers.com
Overall property valuation is up 12% for the current fiscal year in the Town of Fort Myers Beach per preliminary data released by the Lee County Assessor’s office.
Total taxable property values went up 12.33% in part due to new construction, the rebuilding of homes and businesses on the island and market data compared to last year.
That could mean higher taxes this year for Fort Myers Beach property owners.
“The County Assessor’s final roll shows Fort Myers Beach taxable values up approximately 12.3% year-overyear — meaning, unless the millage rate is adjusted downward, homeowners will see roughly the same increase in their property tax bills,” Fort Myers Beach Councilmember Scott Safford said. “However, Homestead properties are still protected by the 3% Save Our Homes cap. I encourage residents to check their TRIM notices in mid August and attend local budget hearings. If they believe their assessment is too high—particularly post hurricane repairs—they can appeal it.”
The only other municipality to see higher increases in overall taxable value was Sanibel, which is in a similar situation to Fort Myers Beach in rebuilding from Hurricane Ian.
County Assessor Matt Caldwell said “the dramatic increase in the tax roll number for both Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach reflects improvements being brought back off the roll after being removed following damage from Hurricane Ian. This included about 2,000 condo units between See PROPERTY VALUES, page 12

Make the most of summer
Summer break is here — a time when families get to slow down, unplug from the daily school routine, and enjoy time together. For many, summer is a welcome opportunity to sleep in, head to the beach or pool, take family trips, and enjoy a more relaxed schedule. It’s a season of memories in the making — and a perfect time to stay connected to your child’s learning in fun and meaningful ways.
While summer should be filled with rest and play, it’s also an excellent opportunity to keep your child’s mind active, especially when it comes to reading. Studies show that even just 15–20 minutes of reading a day can help prevent the “summer slide” and keep students on track for the next school year. Best of all, it doesn’t have to feel like schoolwork!
Here are a few easy and enjoyable ways to make reading part of your summer routine:
Visit your local Library
Make library trips a weekly adventure! Let your child choose books that match their interests — from mysteries and adventures to animals or graphic novels. The Lee County Libraries are offering a Summer Reading Program and book challenges that give kids fun goals and prizes for reading. Additionally, many venues provide story times, craft days, and even guest performances — all at no cost to the public. Learn more at https://www.leegov.com/library/ summer-reading-program.
Read Together
For younger children, especially, reading aloud together can be a special bonding time. Whether it’s a bedtime story or a quiet after-

noon read on the couch, your child benefits every time you open a book. Older kids may enjoy reading the same book as you and chatting about it together.
Enjoy the Unstructured Time
While it’s great to keep up reading habits, summer isn’t just about academics — it’s also about family, fun, and rest. Without the pressure of early alarms, homework, and after-school activities, families can slow down and enjoy the little things: a day at the beach, picnics in the park, evening walks, game nights, or spontaneous day trips.
This is the perfect season to reconnect with your children, try new things, and build lasting memories — without a packed calendar. These moments matter just as much as academics and help our students return to school feeling refreshed, confident, and ready to learn.
As we enjoy these summer days, we’re already looking forward to welcoming students back in August. A new school year means new opportunities, new friendships, and new goals to reach — and the best way to prepare is by keeping young minds curious and engaged.
So take a deep breath, soak in the sunshine, and make the most of every moment. With a bit of reading, a lot of love, and the freedom to explore, this summer can be one to remember.
Have a safe, joyful, and meaningful break!

Decrying Alligator Alcatraz?
Feel free to step right up.
To the editor:
The only sad part of Alligator Alcatraz are the alligator tears of the liberals who want open borders and criminals released before deportation.
Democrat-elected “officials” are like bad actors in an overly melodramatic “B” movie wailing lamentations at the facility gates, Always trying to steal the scene with their ludicrous overacting.
Unfortunately, half the country think these are Oscar-worthy performances because they tug and their heart strings and they can virtue signal how “good” they are by supporting these improv political players.
Trump should initiate an “adopt a thug” program that will release one of the rapists, murderers and other felons into their custody if they sign a contract to house them in their homes, feed them, pay their doctor fees etc for life from their personal funds and promise to forfeit their property in the event these thugs leave their homes and again commit crimes or just kill their hosts in their sleep.
How many of these virtue-signaling liberal faux do gooders are willing to put personal skin in the game ?
Could I see a show of hands please? Yea thought so!

Bonita Fish Company open for events
By NATHAN MAYBERG nmayberg@breezenewspapers.com
Bonita Fish Company is taking reservations for its newly-opened event room as renovations continue at the iconic restaurant spot formerly known as Bonita Bill’s Waterfront Cafe in Fort Myers Beach.
The San Carlos Island restaurant property owned by HM Restaurant Group has unveiled Bayside at Bonita Fish Company, a private indoor-outdoor event venue off Fisherman’s Wharf.
The event space is now open immediately based on availability.
The scenic waterfront setting along Matanzas Pass overlooking the harbor and the 35-slip marina planned has been undergoing renovations since HM Restaurant purchased the property in January.
Currently available for reservations, Bayside at Bonita Fish Company provides plated dinners for 70 guests and up to 150 people for standing receptions. For the first few months, the food will be supplied by the neighboring Dixie Fish Company and Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, HM Restaurant Group partner Joe Harrity said. HM Restaurant Group owns all three acclaimed restaurants.
The restaurant is expected to fully open in September or October, Harrity said.
Bayside at Bonita Fish Company and Doc Ford’s Lounge reservations and additional information are available by contacting Private Events Manager Joe Sletten at joesletten@hmrestaurantgroup.com or 239-788-4067.
“We’re excited to introduce Bayside at Bonita Fish Company, a new space for private celebrations and community events,” Harrity said. “It’s a picturesque venue for a variety of occasions, from weddings and smaller charity events to company, birthday and holiday parties. We’re already accepting reservations.”
The new catering space will now be known as Bayside Private Events.
“The room looks great, and we’re excited to start planning events,” Harrity said.
Bayside at Bonita Fish Company will offer coastal-inspired fare from Bonita Fish Company.
“We’re in the process of building our menu,” Harrity said.
Chamber to hold golfing event
STAFF REPORT

For more information visit https://www.fortmyersbeach.org/events/6th-annual-golf-tournament/.
For additional questions contact Dayla at events@ fmbchamber.com or 239-454-7500.
The owners want to give the restaurant its own distinct menu that is different from the neighboring properties while also keeping part of the menu that made Bonita Bill’s Waterfront Cafe popular for so many years. Harrity said they plan on offering brunches on the weekends, as Bonita Bill’s was known for its breakfast crowd.
Harrity and HM Restaurant Group have been hard at work on the former Bonita Bill’s Waterfront Cafe since purchasing the iconic waterfront property in January along with some neighboring parcels for $5.5 million.
A brand new, shiny roof was installed, as well as new ceilings, flooring and new restrooms.
The venue is part of HM Restaurant Group’s vision
of revitalizing the block between Doc Ford’s and Bayside at Bonita Fish Company into a destination for dining, entertainment, waterfront and marina access. The company has also introduced Doc Ford’s Lounge at the Fort Myers Beach restaurant, a private event space for 25 or more guests.
Bayside at Bonita Fish Company and Doc Ford’s Lounge reservations and additional information are available by contacting Private Events Manager Joe Sletten at joesletten@hmrestaurantgroup.com or 239-788-4067. Sletten said a few events have already been booked.
Bonita Fish Company will feature 300 indoor and outdoor seats, a large center bar, daily music and a menu focusing on fresh seafood. It will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner from 7 a.m. to closing. HM Restaurant Group is also building a floating dock marina, which will operate independently from the restaurant and serve boat-in customers, offer longterm rentals and accommodate boats up to 90 feet with shore power and water.
Harrity said ownership is working on permitting for the wet slips, and hopes to have them open sometime in 2025.
Originally built in 1926 as Bonita Fish House, the nearly century-old restaurant has a storied past as a gathering place for the Fort Myers Beach community. Its name and history echo Dixie Fish Company, an original fish house built in 1937 as a seafood market. Both restaurants pay homage to the heritage and history of old Florida fish houses. The restaurant’s former owner Bill Semmer, died last year, prompting the sale.
The owners had to remove four boats that had washed up on the docks of the restaurant, including on boat that had literally settled on top of the dock of the restaurant and had become a sort-of landmark with dozens of signatures. The boat had to be removed for safety reasons. Harrity said the removal of the boats was “not cheap.”
“We’re ready to roll,” Harrity said.
Doc Ford’s employees volunteer at Gulf Coast Humane Society
Team members from Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille on Fort Myers Beach spent a recent morning volunteering at the Gulf Coast Humane Society. The restaurant’s 10 employees cleaned all kennels, did laundry, measured and bagged food, and provided exercise for dogs at the nonprofit organization.
“Our group enjoyed helping out at the Gulf Coast Humane Society and spending time with the dogs,” said Ryan Cook, general manager of the Fort Myers Beach Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, in a prepared statement. “This was our first time volunteering at the shelter, which depends entirely on financial and volunteer donations from the community.”
“Philanthropy and community outreach are engrained in the company philosophy of HM Restaurant Group, which owns and operates Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille,” a release states. “Proceeds from specialty cocktails at Doc Ford’s have raised over $133,000 to support children’s hospitals in Southwest Florida and St. Petersburg. HM Restaurant Group also supports local nonprofits dedicated to conservation, community,
education and the environment. The “Ding” Darling Doc Ford’s Tarpon Tournament has donated over $1.57 million for conservation and water-quality research at Sanibel’s J.N.
“Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge since its inception in 2012. The 14th annual tournament will be held May 15, 2026.”
Founded in 1947, the Gulf Coast Humane Society is Southwest Florida’s most tenured no-kill animal welfare organization dedicated to providing a safe haven and medical care for pets, promoting adoptions and building bonds between pets and people. Since it does not receive local or federal funding or money from the Humane Society of the United States or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Fort Myers shelter relies solely on community donations, grants, bequests and fundraising events to support its operations.
For more information about donating, volunteering or adopting a pet, call the society at 239-3320364, visit online at gulfcoasthumanesociety.org or in person at 2010 Arcadia St., Fort Myers.
With locations on Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Jungle Terrace in St. Petersburg and the St. Petersburg Pier, Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Ostego Bay summer camp heads into homestretch
By NATHAN MAYBERG nmayberg@breezenewspapers.com
The Ostego Bay Marine Science Center Foundation’s summer camp of exploring the Gulf and the outdoors while learning about science, is entering the final weeks of weekday camp on Fort Myers Beach.
A recent visit to the camp found campers who had recently completed an oyster garden science project, who were enjoying icies and looking forward to a boat trip. Campers were set to go on a pontoon boat to seek out dolphins and manatees.
Steven Wilkie, camp director for Ostego Bay Summer Camp, was holding court at the Estero Island Historic Society passing out icies to the campers. Earlier in the day they had gone swimming on the beach as campers do each day.
Wilkie, a science teacher at South Fort Myers High School, led the middle school students in the camp on a dissection of oyster clutches. The program was meant to teach the campers about the importance of oysters in the diversity of the estuary and the salinity turbulation for healthy Gulf waters and protecting marine life.
All of the campers took part in constructing an oyster garden, using oyster shells donated from restaurants. “We drilled holes in them and created vertical oyster gardens,” Wilkie said. The oyster shells were then attached to a chain to be hung on a dock at Bonita Fish Company partly submerged into the water to attract baby oysters, crabs and other critters to help benefit the local ecosystem.
Other activities at the camp include arts and crafts. There is a beach swim each day for an hour or two. On a recent swim, Wilkie said the campers observed a group of cow-nosed rays.
The campers also take part in a science project on the beach using a net to identify marine life. On a recent catch, campers observed and learned about dwarf seahorses and sargassum shrimp.
The camps runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.,

Celebration of art
By NATHAN MAYBERG nmayberg@breezenewspapers,com
The Fort Myers Beach Art Association opened its new July show “Fireworks” this past week with a bang at their gallery space at Cypress Lake Square.
The new show features art depicting familiar Fort Myers Beach sites from Times Square to Lovers Key State Park as well as paintings of birds, beach scenes and abstract paintings of this world and the next.
Dozens of new works of framed and matted artwork adorns the walls of the new space off McGregor Boulevard, along with a large volume of smaller “mini masters” in the gallery’s collection which are all up for sale.
Admission to the gallery is free during its hours from noon to 6 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
The “Fireworks” show runs through July 26 at 13451 McGregor Blvd, Unit #1, in Fort Myers.
Susi Wingenroth has two acrylic works on canvas featured, titled “Dream” and “Shine,” featuring an outer galaxy with neon lights for the words “Dream” and “Shine” which require batteries to light up.
Wingenroth said membership in the art association has grown since they moved into the new location. There has also been more interest from passersby stopping in to check out the art.
Wingenroth said the association has been holding weekly art talk discussions.
Located across from the Pawnbroker Restaurant and Fishmarket, the association’s new gallery is a replacement for the gallery the association lost at Shell Mound Boulevard and Donora Boulevard on Fort Myers Beach when it was destroyed by Hurricane Ian in 2022. The association had been fundraising to rebuild the gallery on Fort Myers Beach but at the present time has decided the best use of its funds will be renting space to hold the working gallery off island.
Following the “Fireworks” show, the association will hold a new art show beginning Aug. 1 titled “Summer Sizzle” which will run through Aug. 19.

mangroves.
Mangroves are a major source of concern for neighbors who count on them for protection during storm, like after Hurricane Ian.
In a letter to the LPA, town resident Christine Madden said as part of the original approvals for the Beach Theater, the mangroves were never to be touched.
In her letter, Madden opposed the proposal to allow outdoor music at the theater.
The LPA voted to approve several deviations and variances for the property with conditions. Town planning staff had recommended denial of allowing outdoor
music at the theater as well as another variance to decrease the required number of parking spaces from 115 to 33.
LPA member John McClean was the lone vote against the deviation allowing a variance from the town’s Local Development Code to allow the outdoor live entertainment.
As is required, several Fort Myers Beach Local Planning Agency members disclosed they had met individually and privately with representatives of The Neighborhood Company, which is representing the Beach Theater. Fort Myers Beach Local Planning Agency Chair Anita Cereceda said she had not met with The Neighborhood Company or their owner Patrick Vanasse, a former member of the Local Planning Agency.
The plans were presented by The Neighborhood Company, led by Patrick Vanasse. Vanasse said the new Beach Theater will have a casual restaurant on the ground floor, tabletop games and cornhole, a second floor with a steakhouse and some office space and storage space. There would be live music and entertainment indoors and outdoors.
Town planner Judith Frankel recommend the LPA deny the request for outdoor live music which could be considered an intrusion into residential neighborhood. Frankel recommended approval of the indoor music.
Vanasse said there would be no more movies shown at the theater on a regular basis though in response to a request from some in the community, Vanasse said a projector would sometimes be made available to show old films on a wall.
“We’re all going to be a little sad to see it (as a movie theater) go,” Vanasse said. “Unfortunately due to the storm but also due to economics associated with theaters nowadays it’s a very challenging business. We don’t think it’s the highest and best use. We believe that restaurants with some entertainment will much better serve the south end of the island. We are all going to be sad to see it go.”
Vanasse said the renovated theater could also have a stage.
In regards to the removal of the man-
groves, Vanasse said there was a “bit of a snafu” with the mangroves, which needed a local development order. Vanasse, who was not involved in the project at the time the mangroves were removed, said there was “miscommunication” between the environmental consultant and the ownership group. “They thought they were all good with the state approvals” but didn’t have the local development order.
Vanasse said the owners now have a permit to do work on the docks and will replant mangroves and will maintain them at 36 inches.
LPA member James Boan called for limiting music to singles and duos, to which Vanasse agreed.
Jim Dunlap, a member of the Fort Myers Beach LPA who lives next to the theater on Egret Street said he supports the project at the Beach Theater.
“For me on the street, literally the closest house, we’ve waited a long time for this to come alive. This building is important to our neighborhood,” Dunlap said. “Sitting there empty is a whole different statement than what you are proposing today.”
LPA board member John McClean, who also lives nearby, said the developers have missed an opportunity to communicate with the community about the project.
“There has been a huge, missed opportunity in outreach to the neighborhood and the community I will say for months and years now, even to the point of our councilmembers reaching out to get updates,” McLean said. “There has been very little communication and that’s concerning only because there was a request that Patrick made that said ‘give us some grace’ and that to me is ‘trust us.’ And that trust factor in my mind is something that is built over time.”
McLean said overall he liked the concept but said he was concerned about parking and the developers saying they don’t intend to have a sports bar but haven’t ruled it out.
The Beach Theater will go in front of the town council for approval on Aug. 4.

“We are a lifesaver for people on the island so you don’t have to go off island to Home Depot or Loewe’s,” Bellger said. Bellger sells ice, propane tanks and even cuts keys.
Town officials are meeting with FEMA this week as the town seeks to be put back into the National Flood Insurance Program as it exits FEMA probation. The town lost its 25% flood insurance discount through the National Flood Insurance Program last year.
“Following our recent release from probation, we were informed of an upcoming Community Assistance Visit from FEMA,” Town of Fort Myers Manager Will McKannay said. “This visit is a standard part of the process as we work toward full reinstatement in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).”
Since receiving notice, our team has been working diligently and in close coordination with FEMA and FDEM to prepare for the visit. We remain fully committed to transparency, compliance, and continuous improvement, and we view this visit as a vital step in achieving our ultimate goal: being restored as an active member in the NFIP.
Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce President Jacki Liszak, who owns the property where Bellger operates his businesses, said she is concerned about how the town revoking the permits could impact the beach.
“I am really scared about that for everyone,” Liszak said.
According to data provided by the town at a town council meeting this spring, there are more than 100 properties with trailers on them.
Liszak said she has reached out to federal and state officials to get an extension for residents and businesses but so far has been told that getting FEMA to give
the town a break, is unlikely. Liszak said she has been in touch with town officials constantly.
“It’s incredibly unfortunate,” Liszak said. “It’s going to hurt everybody.”
Liszak said shutting down businesses would cost workers their jobs and create new difficulties for homeowners who haven’t been able to complete rebuilding their homes.
“We still have a lot of people living in RVs on the island,” Liszak said.
Fewer businesses would also mean fewer options for tourists and visitors to the island at a time when her chamber is working to attract more visitors, Liszak said.
Liszak said there has been differing information about what could happen when the permits expire. “We’re trying to follow FEMA’s rules.”
Liszak said it was also important for the community to get back its flood insurance discount. “We’re trying to get that flood discount back. Thart means a lot to people, too. It’s enough that it definitely matters.”
Fort Myers Beach Mayor Dan Allers did not respond to messages seeking comment regarding the trailers by press time.
During previous discussions by the town council there had been talk of giving property owners who are in the middle of rebuilding and who have permits to construct new homes or businesses, more time to stay in their trailers past the September deadline. That no longer appears to be the case.
Property values
the islands. Each year our field team reviews the ‘uninhabitable’ properties to see if they either still qualify for this exception or should be restored to the roll. This reflects good news, as now the vast majority of ‘uninhabitable’ properties have now been restored.”
The rest of Lee County saw lesser increases in their assessments. Overall, Lee County valuation went up 8%.
Caldwell believes the values for next years will go down based on the current market.
“One word of caution I have given everyone however, is that these numbers can be misleading. The changes in value (not habitability) reflect the market in 2024, which was moving sideways and now appears to be moving down in 2025,” Caldwell said.
From page 1
“All of the taxing authorities should be prepared for a potential loss in the roll come 2026.”
Overall, townvaluation went up from $4.11 billion to $4.94 billion, for an increase of 12%. Total just values, which reflects market value, went up 10% from $5.9 billion to $6.48 billion
Fort Myers Beach Vice Mayor Jim Atterholt said the numbers were “another good sign of our recovery. As only 6% of a FMB resident’s property tax bill goes to support the Town government, it is difficult to know the fiscal impact on the Town budget until we know the actual numbers. The vast majority of the property tax bill goes to the schools, Lee County government and the Fire Department.”

Short-term parking
The Town of Fort Myers Beach has created several new short-term parking spaces intended to allow for pickups from local restaurants and businesses, dropoffs and for rideshare services such as Lyft or Uber to pick up and drop off passengers. The new parking spots were arranged by Fort Myers Beach Councilmember Scott Safford with town staff after loose, general discussions among town councilmembers at a town council meeting.

The Beach Bar
By NATHAN MAYBERG nmayberg@breezenewspapers.com
The Beach Bar just had its most successful day of business since Greg Boyd and Madeline Boyd bought the Fort Myers Beach business in 2009. They held a grand reopening with their new building on the Fourth of July on a day when the town canceled its scheduled parade due to inclement weather in the forecast.
No matter. The people showed up anyway. Mr. Boyd said they did twice as much business that day than they had in the 16 years they have been running the popular beachfront establishment where refreshments are on the menu and the live music sets the mood.
“The Fourth of July was a huge success,” Boyd said.
The Beach Bar is back in a new way. One of the first businesses to reopen after Hurricane Ian, The Beach Bar had essentially been operating without much of a home after its old building was destroyed by the storm in 2022.
The Beach Bar started doing business out of a trailer in January of 2023, less than 100 days after Hurricane Ian — which is really Superman type of time in the scheme of the recovery period. Since then, the haven’t really stopped aside from dealing with other hurricanes named Helene and Milton. Less than nine months after they broke ground on a rebuild, The Beach Bar is bigger than ever operating out of a three-story building and a fullproof plan to survive another hurricane.
After Hurricane Ian struck, there was
“It’s a big investment in the town which I firmly believe in. I believe in its future, the people that are here. There are a lot of things that need to be worked out but I am sure that it is going to happen. It’s a big learning process as we go.”
— Greg Boyd, co-owner of The Beach Bar on Fort Myers Beach
nothing left of The Beach Bar.
The Beach Bar’s co-owner Greg Boyd, a retired Marine corporal who served during the Vietnam War, saw to it that every nail was pulled out of the pilings.
“We had to make sure it was safe for everybody to come back,” Manager Matt Faller said of the work they undertook.
The Beach Bar is a landmark on the island, with the original wood-framed property dating back to the 1960s when it was a bait shop and a package store, before it ultimately gained a license to sell alcohol.
Boyd said that business has cooled a little bit since that Fourth of July celebration. “Things have been good. It’s a very slow part of the season right now,” Boyd said. “It’s so hard to judge because we are not in season.”
During the summer season, live music is offered Fridays through Mondays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. From October to March,
there will be live music each day during the same time. The Beach Bar is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Faller said The Beach Bar is all about “cold beer, live music and toes in the sand.”
For those who don’t dabble in alcoholic drinks, The Beach Bar also has an array of non-alcoholic options. Behind the bar are the mixed juices for some of the more popular cocktails — Margaritas,
strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas. Customers have the option to enjoy the cocktails with or without alcohol.
Boyd said beer is the top seller at the bar, with the most popular choice Michelob Ultra. But the bar can just as easily make cranberry juice or pineapple juice. You can order a wine, Long Island Iced Tea, a Sprite or a watermelon seltzer.

“We can do anything,” Boyd said.
The Beach Bar is one of those beachfront businesses that help make Fort Myers Beach what it is. There is the ability to sit down at the bar indoors or sit on a table in the sand and soak up the sun under an umbrella while enjoying the view of the Gulf.
Boyd and his sister Madeline were directors on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Natives of New Jersey, they have owned several businesses throughout their careers and have made a personal connection to this one. They call Fort Myers Beach home and have stuck with the island through Ian and the most recent hurricanes of Helene and Milton last year.
Boyd is especially proud of some of the extra measures the business took to be hurricane resilient and to be compliant
with the most up-to-date FEMA regulations.
That includes state-of-the-art restrooms built on hydraulics, designed to be hooked up to a sewer system built by Stevens Construction which can be pulled out and hooked up to a truck to be driven away within an hour’s notice. Much of what is inside the bar in fact could be pulled out at a moment’s notice in the event of a future hurricane.
“We will open the shutters and truck everything out,” Boyd said.
“The Beach Bar was rebuilt with a focus on resilience after Hurricane Ian destroyed the original structure in 2022,” said Dan Adams, vice president/principal of Stevens Construction, Inc. “With a 6,133-square-foot footprint, the threestory design incorporates durable mate-
rials such as simulated stucco siding and trim, composite soffits and a standing seam metal roof for greater longevity and storm resistance. The Beach Bar exterior includes yellow Bahama shutters to complement its logo.”
The project was designed by Studio A.D. and Edge Interiors provided the interior design.
Boyd said in the event of a hurricane the shutters would be opened to allow all the water to pass through so as to avoid serious damage. Flood vents were also installed.
The business is on the same footprint as the old location, which was known for its relatively small space that gave it
a unique atmosphere especially on big season days when crowds might swell to fill up the room.
The new building has two floors of housing which will be available as vacation rentals beginning in September. The rentals offer balconies with sightly views over the beach.
The Boyds have made a big personal investment in rebuilding The Beach Bar. “It’s a big investment in the town which I firmly believe in,” Boyd said. “I believe in its future, the people that are here. There are a lot of things that need to be worked out but I am sure that it is going to happen. It’s a big learning process as we go.”

Mighty Mussels, Single-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, play at Hammond
Parkway
Fort Myers Mighty Mussels to hold special event for Beach residents
By NATHAN MAYBERG nmayberg@breezenewspapers.com
The Fort Myers Mighty Mussels will host a Fort Myers Beach special night July 25 for their game against the Lakeland Flying Tigers with discounted tickets near the Mighty Mussels dugout for town residents.
The town announced Fort Myers Beach Manager Will McKannay will throw out the first pitch. A fireworks show will follow the game.
The discounted tickets near the dugout cost $12.67 and can be purchased at https://www.gofevo.com/event/ TownofFortMyersBeach?access_code=TownofFortMy-
ersBeach&area=Box
The tickets must be purchased by 5:05 p.m. on July 25.
The game starts at 7:05 p.m.
McKannay said the idea for the promotion started with the Human Resources department of the town.
“Our terrific HR team is always seeking ways to recognize and reward the hard work of our staff, and an employee appreciation night was their idea,” McKannay said.
That idea then expanded to also include a way to reward town residents with discounted tickets.
“The Mighty Mussels offered a ceremonial first pitch, and I was happy to accept on behalf of the town,”
McKannay said.
McKannay played high school baseball “but that was a long time ago,” he said.
“I remember the advice Derek Jeter (New York Yankees shortstop) gave President George Bush (after 9/11) ‘Don’t bounce it, because they’ll boo you if you bounce it.’”
The Mighty Mussels are the Single-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. They play at Hammond Stadium, located at the Lee Health Sports Complex at 14100 6 Mile Cypress Parkway in Fort Myers.
