Watersports

If you love water so much you might as well have gills, then Southwest Florida is the spot for you. Lee and Collier counties are nautical wonderlands, full of activities for every water lover. Paddle a canoe through lush mangrove estuaries, paraglide over the shores of Fort Myers, or motorboat into the gulf in search of dolphins.

Beach bumming

Land lovers, you can still enjoy the water from one of Southwest Florida’s many beaches. Stake an umbrella in pristine white sand and watch the waves roll in. Then take a shoreline walk, and remember to look down: the Florida Gulf Coast boasts optimal shelling. Bring home a sand dollar, a conch shell and lots of memories.

Unparalleled fishing

In Southwest Florida, fishing is a lifestyle. Spend a day on the water, reeling in all sorts of aquatic delicacies like grouper and tuna. Take your bounty back home and cook up a hard-earned seafood dinner. If you’re more interested in game fishing, the Gulf Coast offers spectacular opportunities to battle tarpon, snook and trout.

Golf galore

Nature and wildlife viewing

In Florida, there is no shortage of nature preserves. An abundance of wildlife thrives both on and off shore. Spot alligators lounging on far-off logs or manatees mating in a bay. Birders, Southwest Florida is your sanctuary. The area houses spoonbills, pelicans, egrets, ibis, endangered burrowing owls and the list goes on.
