Things to Watch
Out For in Fort Myers Beach

Fort Myers Beach is generally clean and
safe, but there are a few things youll need to

watch out for.
These are outlined below

Sea Critters
A
lthough the ocean at Fort Myers Beach is
generally safe and clean, you do need to be

aware of possible
dangers underfoot from things like Stingrays who
are not always
easy
to see as they can bury themselves in the sand.
There can also be sharp objects

on the sea bed
that could be really harmful such as broken
shells. Make sure you

shuffle your feet as you walk. When you do
this, it will serve as a warning to any

lurking stingrays.
This will also reduce the likelihood of stepping
on anything sharp or

prickly.
Dine
Early
If youre
visiting Florida from Europe, Africa or regions
around the world with a

vibrant nightlife, it is important to note
that life on Fort Myers Beach is different.

People get up
really early, leave the beach early and dine
early. If youre a late diner and

planning to eat
out late, you might just find yourself without a
place to eat.
Drivi
ng is Really Slow
Th
e traffic is really slow moving. In some parts of
Estero Boulevard, the speed limit is

as low as 15 MPH,
so if youre a speed demon, think again. The
police are ever
pre
sent on bike cycles, motor cycles, cars, feet,
etc. They are ever-present, so you need

to tread very
carefully.
