Day Trip: Fort Myers
Photo by The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel
If the breakfast spots in Fort Myers were open all day long, you could spend an entire vacation hopping from cozy coffee shop to a French toast haven. For a quick pastry and coffee, try the family-owned Mon Paris Coffee Shop & Bakery offering croissants, cinnamon rolls and more. Sweet Bean Cafe off McGregor Boulevard has must-try caffeinated beverages, including its unique toffee coffee. McGregor Cafe has a lovely, plant-filled outdoor patio and buttery from-scratch biscuits. Happily, CRaVE Restaurant serves its phenomenal, farm-to-table breakfast all day long. Check out its chalkboard specials and while you’re sitting in this homey restaurant. You can read some of the rave reviews on the walls that showcase the love for this local favorite. There are few things more “Florida” than getting nose-to-nose with a manatee. Fort Myers has a great place to do just that - Manatee Park is a 17-acre warm water refuge for manatee. They are drawn to its warm waters when the temperature in the Gulf gets below 68 degrees. This is a picturesque spot to kayak - you can bring your own or rent there - and if you visit the park in cooler weather around January and February, you can paddle alongside manatee or see them from the overlook.

Day Trip: Fort Myers
Photos by The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel
Edison-Ford Winter Estates is another must-visit spot in Fort Myers, and the drive there alone is gorgeous! You will see palm-tree lined streets as you pull up to the Estates, which features 20 acres of gardens, the Edison Botanic Research Laboratory, a museum full of artifacts from the work of Edison and Ford, and their historic homes. Take a docent-led tour or stroll the grounds on your own for a memorable collision of science and history. Fort Myers is also home to Spring Training. Catch the Boston Red Sox at JetBlue Park and the Minnesota Twins at CenturyLink Sports Complex. Add those spots to your itinerary for any baseball fans in your group. Unsurprisingly, Southwest Florida is a place that’s crazy for golf. But you don’t need to have your own gear or Tiger Woods-like ability to have a great time at two new golf spots: PopStroke and Topgolf. PopStroke features two mini golf courses with synthetic turf, bunkers and more -- just like a traditional course. You can even order beverages and have them delivered right to your spot on the green! Topgolf is a blast for the whole family, with huge targets to aim for from your own climate-controlled bay, a variety of games to play and high-tech golf balls that will keep track of your score. Want an outdoor experience you won’t find anywhere else? Sign up for the Everglades Day Safari! You’ll have a full day of activity including an airboat ride for gator sightings, a nature walk through a cypress forest and a boat cruise through the 10,000 Islands. Every tour will give you an up-close look at the ecosystems, flora and fauna that make up the Everglades, with a biologist leading your tour to point out unique features, so you don’t miss a thing.

Day Trip: CAPE CORAL
Photo by The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel
Cape Coral has more than 400 miles of canals, many of which lead right into the Caloosahatchee River or even the Gulf of Mexico. With both freshwater and saltwater access, you can turn any visit to Cape Coral into a great day of fishing. You can fish from canals, bridges and parks including Bernice Braden Park and Sirenia Vista Park. Just be sure to get your Florida fishing license online from the Lee County Tax Collector’s Office or hop on a fishing charter such as Thrill of it All - Cape Coral or Salty Native Charters. Any day trip to Cape Coral should include a tour of Wicked Dolphin Distillery, producing small batch Florida Rum made with Florida sugar since 2012. A tour will show visitors every step of the rum-making process, from learning about how ingredients are sourced, to seeing how they are cooked, fermented and distilled. Tours end with a visit to the barrel room so you can taste the final product. Cape Coral is growing quickly, and its lively downtown is cooking up unique creations even quicker! Try the exceptional pizza at Nice Guys Beer & Pizza Lounge, such as the Don’t Worry Brie Happy, with caramelized onions, criminis, arugula, brie and a balsamic reduction drizzle. There are also plenty of great bars to check out including Nevermind Awesome Bar & Eatery, a grunge-rock inspired bar with gourmet food, Cork Soakers, a wine bar with one-of-a-kind menu items and 10 Twenty Five with signature cocktails and comfort food.

Day Trip: Bonita Springs
Photo by The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel
Bonita Springs is the kind of casual beach community that many people look for in a vacation destination. Throw on a bathing suit and spend all day at beautiful Bonita Beach. You can grab food and beverages at Doc’s Beach House, which is right on the sand, and you can even rent a jet ski, paddleboard or kayak on-site from Bonita Jet Ski & Parasail. It’s a great beach for collecting shells and spotting local wildlife – keep an eye out for dolphins playing in the wake of boats. If you don’t spend the whole day at the beach, be sure to at least stop by for what’s sure to be a gorgeous sunset over the Gulf. Need a break to dump the sand out of your shoes? Try Golf Safari Mini Golf right on Bonita Beach Road. It’s a themed course that lives up to the safari name, and you can play additional rounds on the same day for free. For a historical excursion, check out the “spring” for which Bonita Springs is named. It’s located at Shangri-La Springs Resort & Spa, which has beautiful grounds you can explore, along with an organic restaurant called Harvest & Wisdom.

Day Trip: Bonita Springs
Photo by The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel
Meals there are prepared with produce grown on-site. From there, walk along Old 41 Road to the recently renovated Everglades Wonder Gardens. This attraction is one of the oldest in Southwest Florida – it was originally opened by two brothers as The Reptile Gardens in 1936. Now, it’s home to not just reptiles, but a lorikeet pavilion, butterfly garden and more! Cross the street for ice cream and souvenirs at For Heaven Shakes and Heaven Scent Flowers, or hop back in the car for a trip to restaurants and retail therapy at Coconut Point Mall and Miromar Outlets, both located in neighboring Estero.

Day Trip: NAPLES
Photo by Naples, Marco Island, Everglades CVB
If you want to spend an entire day outside - Naples is the place to do it. Swing by Narrative Coffee Roasters, founded in 2020 and growing rapidly, or Fit and Fuel Cafe, which also offers healthy breakfast options and to-go cups to kickstart your day. In Naples, it’s easy to get out on the water. Book a sightseeing cruise or fishing charter with Pure Florida, or rent one of their jet skis and head to Keewaydin Island for some time at the beach. All Water Excursions is a great spot to rent kayaks, jet skis or paddleboards, and the team there can even go out on the water with you for a guided tour. All Water Excursions is located right on the Cocohatchee, giving visitors direct access to the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico - access you’ll love if you take one of their dolphin sunset cruises. Biking is a popular activity in Naples, and the the 140-acre Gordon River Greenway Park is a great place to enjoy it. The park has a two-and-a-half-mile trail that takes visitors along wildlife viewing stations and decorative bridges. Its pathways are extra wide to make it easy for walkers, cyclists and those walking their dogs to navigate the trail.

Day Trip: NAPLES

The Greenway neighbors Naples Zoo, a nationally accredited zoo that is an ideal size for families. Exhibits include the Florida panther, clouded leopard, reticulated giraffe, honey badger, Malayan tiger and lots of American alligators. There are plenty of great restaurants in Naples - and some of those restaurants are on four wheels. Keep your outdoors-only day going at Celebration Park, a food truck park near the Naples Botanical Garden where you can choose from a variety of international foods, beer and wine. Sit along the water to enjoy your cuisine, pull up a seat at the covered bar or swing by Three60 Market and Restaurant and grab a table on the deck.

Day Trip: Sanibel Island
Photo by The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel
Sanibel Island is the perfect beach escape for everyone from solo travelers to families. When Southwest Florida locals “staycation,” Sanibel is where they go. Start your day with a delicious (and punny) breakfast at the Island Cow or try The Sanibel Café, and then rent a bike at Billy’s Rentals so you can spend the rest of the day exploring the island on two wheels. You can bike (or drive) right through the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. It’s a leisurely spot to capture wildlife photos, and the Visitor and Education Center can help you learn about the natural environment you’re exploring. When you exit the refuge, you can bike from shop to shop on the island. Swing into Gene’s Books, a bookstore with several buildings, or try the eclectic boutiques in Periwinkle Place Shops. When you’re ready to hit the beach, Sanibel has world-famous options. Bowman’s Beach is a secluded spot with white sand, no hotels overlooking it, nature and fitness trails, canoe and kayak launching and barbecue grills. Tarpon Beach, Gulfside City Park Beach and Lighthouse Beach all have free parking for
46
Day Trip: SANIBEL ISLAND bicycles – car parking is $5 an hour – and Lighthouse Beach is home to Sanibel’s historic, still-functioning, lighthouse. You’ll be hungry after your day out in the sun, and luckily, you can’t go wrong at any of the island’s restaurants. Try Doc Ford’s Sanibel Rum Bar & Grill, named for the character in Randy Wayne White’s novels, or grab a seat at Keylime Bistro for live entertainment every night of the week. The Christmas-themed Bubble Room is always a hit for desserts such as their Orange Crunch Cake, and don’t be surprised to find a line out the door at Love Boat Ice Cream.

Day Trip: Marco Island
Photo by Naples, Marco Island, Everglades CVB
A day at Marco Island is best spent on the water. At Tiger Tail Beach, you’ll have everything you need for a memorable vacation day. It has a beautifully manicured park with changing rooms, a full-service restaurant and you can even rent any beach gear you need, including kayaks and paddleboards. Spend the day at Tiger Tail’s beautiful saltwater lagoon or cross the lagoon itself to get to three miles of soft, white sand. If you like bird-watching, Tiger Tail Beach is a great spot to visit - it’s such an important habitat for wintering and nesting shorebirds that it’s an official stop on the Great Florida Birding Trail. There is no shortage of options for boat rentals on Marco Island. Try Gator Boat Rentals for short or long-term rentals of kayaks, fishing boats and pontoons that can be delivered to your door if you’re staying on the water. Or check out Dolphin Cove Marina, which has flexible rental hours, so you only pay for the time you’re out on the water. If a guided tour is more your style, try Florida Adventures and Rentals. It offers ecotours by boat, kayak, paddle board or even jet ski. When it’s time for lunch or dinner, dock your boat right outside Snook 53
Day Trip: Marco Island Inn Restaurant & Chickee Bar, a Marco Island landmark. Enjoy live music and an atmosphere perfect for your day of boating. For amazing fresh fish and a raw bar in a casual setting, try Deep Lagoon Seafood, where even the indoor seats have a view of the water. Marco Island Brewery is a high-energy spot to visit while you’re in the area. It has more than 50 craft beers on tap, including selections from Southwest Florida’s favorite breweries, like Fort Myers Brewing Company, Palm City Brewing and Naples Beach Brewery. If you want to experience the Southwest Florida brewing scene but don’t have time to visit every tap room, Marco Island Brewery is the perfect spot.

Day Trip: PuntaGorda
Photo by Punta GordaEnglewood Beach Visitor & Convention Bureau
You can spend an entire day in friendly and walkable Downtown Punta Gorda dining and shopping in one-of-a-kind spots. Grab an organic tea or specialty coffee at Punta Gorda Coffee & Tea and take it with you to Laishley Park, where you can sit and take in the view of the Peace River. The park also has 18 miles of scenic walking and bike paths, as well as a public boat launch if you’re looking for a day of fishing. Looking for a good book to enjoy on your visit? Stop by Copperfish Books, a shop right in downtown where the team will try to match you with the perfect book, or Sandman Books, which is the largest independent bookstore in Southwest Florida. At Sandman Books, take a picture under the book arch installed in the middle of the shop, and keep an eye out for the resident cat, Kitty-Wan Kenobi! In Punta Gorda’s Fishermen’s Village, you can shop for the perfect keepsake to take home at boutiques such as Laff Out Loud, Sea Spirit and Island Fever, and try award-winning seafood at Village Fish Market and Restaurant. For a fine dining experience, try The Captain’s Table, which overlooks Charlotte Harbor. If seafood isn’t your style, check out the gourmet, wood-fired pizza at Pizza

Day Trip: PuntaGorda

Gorda. For a fun dessert, walk right over to PG Social House - milkshakes here are deluxe, made with five scoops of ice cream and often topped with a slice of cake. This cute spot also has a candy store to take your taste buds down a nostalgic journey through the decades. When you’re ready to walk off your milkshake, Peace River Botanical and Sculpture Gardens is a 30-acre waterfront oasis that gives visitors a look at the ecosystems Southwest Florida is famous for: marshlands, wetlands, mangroves, uplands and a tidal basin. Follow along its boardwalks to see sculptures from internationally renowned artists.

Day Trip: Englewood
Photo by Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach Visitor & Convention Bureau
With roots as a fishing village, a day trip to Englewood feels like a postcard from Old Florida. Visit Blind Pass Beach Park for a peaceful day outside. Located on the Sarasota side of Englewood (it’s part of both Charlotte and Sarasota Counties), Blind Pass Beach Park is home to a beautiful mangrove trail, 3,000 feet of quiet beachfront as well as a fishing dock and canoe launch. It’s also a fantastic beach for finding shells and shark teeth. If you’re in the area with a large group, head to Englewood Beach for activities galore. Englewood Beach has grills, picnic shelters, a playground, horseshoe pits, volleyball and basketball courts. Rent beach chairs and umbrellas on site, and stroll down the 900foot boardwalk for great views of the water from the covered lookouts. Englewood is located along Lemon Bay, one of the five aquatic preserves of Charlotte Harbor. Get an up-close look of the Bay and all its wildlife residents through a cruise with Lemon Bay Dolphin Tours, led by Englewood resident and naturalist Captain Bruce LaMotte.

Day Trip: ENGLEWOOD When you’re ready for lunch or dinner, head to Englewood’s Historic District. Mango Bistro is owned by chefs from France and Brazil. The restaurant itself and the food served, including gourmet paninis, crepes and plant-based meals, have a bright, tropical flair that guests love.

Day Trip: Port Charlotte

If you’re visiting Port Charlotte in the spring, catch a Tampa Bay Rays Spring Training Game at Charlotte Sports Park, a state-of-the-art park with a boardwalk along the outfield, upgraded concession stands and a play area for children. Like the rest of Southwest Florida, Port Charlotte is a great spot for golf. If you’re ready to break out your clubs, check out the Port Charlotte Golf Club – it was the first golf course in Charlotte County – or The Cove of Rotunda Golf Course, which has stadium lights so you can fit golf into your schedule at any time of day. Port Charlotte is another Southwest Florida spot where you’ll want to spend an entire day outside enjoying the beautiful natural scenery. Catch the sunset over the water at Port Charlotte Beach Park or Bay Shore Live Oak Park. Both parks also have fishing piers and launches for kayaks and canoes. Tippecanoe Environmental Park is right along the edge of Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park, and with seven miles of trails across uplands and wetlands, it’s another spectacular area to take in Florida’s natural beauty. To have a great meal and end your day with a laugh, try Visani Italian Steakhouse and Comedy Theater. It offers a daily Chef Selection Menu that you can pair with comedy shows and live music.
