This just came through this afternoon and might be of interest - it's a marketing campaign for the beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel
fortmyers-sanibel/?u...yLe isure2020 This is also available from Amazon Kindle for the the princely sum of £0.00 - Lonely Planet Discover the Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel. We found it very useful back in October amazon/Lonely-Plan...=UTF8&qid=&sr=

John and Ninny - my signature photo is courtesy of Nicole, one of the islands excellent photographers, taken looking along Randal Pier, Pineland Road Nicole didn't use filters, simply right time/place. Randal Pier is circa 150 yards afore Tarpon Lodge restaurant, another 100 yards or so on is the turn into Pineland Marina. We enjoy superb Randal Pier and Pineland sunsets from Nov until March, by late March, when the sun sets in the pass atween the top of Cayo Costa and bottom of Boca Granda, there are super green flash sunsets to be seen from Bokeelia Pier. Fortunately we did get a few nights in afore the pier closed and we head home early per Foreign Office guidance.

Ninnybobs- Glad to hear you are still enjoying SW Florida. You were the perfect rental guests when we had our villa in Cape Coral. Hope you are all well!

Rotonda West is half way between Sarasota & Fort Myers. You will need a car as it is about 10 - 15 mins drive to beautiful beaches.
There are 2 Dibb villas on here - Hank's & mine. Have a look and see what Rotonda has to offer. Happy to answer any questions and give more information on the area if you are interested.

Thank you, I didn’t realise that there were some Gulf Coast villas on the dibb! I’ll take a look, you don’t happen to know the link to Hanks do you? I can only find yours!

Hey Chris! Hope you’re doing well in these crazy time’s? We’re all good, busy but good, our new pup has settled in, she’s crazy, no replacement for our old girl but a lovely new addition!
Appreciate the info, will take a look when I get home from work! I think we’re settled on Fort Myers/Cape Coral/Sanibel all depending on the right property. We would be staying for a full week, kids are teens and not overly active but enjoy swimming, the beach, wildlife, good food & relaxing! The whole area sounds perfect! We usually spend our beach days on the Atlantic coast as love Vero & Cocoa but fancy a change if staying for a prolonged period!

RB, my apologies to you and Hank for not mentioning your coastline, that was lax of me
Glad the new pup is settling in, and whilst in a league of her own you'll always remember your awld lass Haven't replaced our Amber mitten, wouldn't be right/fair whilst we're travelling, unfortunately I do believe another mitten would be a healing salve as some 19 month on I'm still missing her dreadfully. I know it isn't her, just house noises, I hear Amber jumping off the bed, tappy lappy down the stairs, I still can't put my legs out straight in bed whilst reading as she used to lie there, the most spooky one was when the wind caught the cat flat, shot out of my chair and locked it SW Fl is lovely area, ample beaches and places to visit. Below is a list I prepared a couple of years ago, all links are working: I highly recommend a boat trip out of Maria Drive Marina, Pine Island with Capt Bruce. We go out with Bruce 3 or 4 times during our winter stays and have a blast - we take a picnic/plenty of drink vs going to a restaurant on Cabbage Key or Upper Captiva, but you do have those options. Bruce charges $50pp, minimum of 4 and is worth every cent, you'll be on the water for 6 or 7 hours. His boat is a 21 foot, double bimini (great for shade) pontoon, his service is 5*. Others charge considerable more. See HERE for reviews and photo's. Cape Coral has a water park, Sunsplash, see HERE SW Fl is a lovely area, you'll have a smashing time. Plenty of beaches, water sports, fishing. Naples is a nice place to check out too, excellent soft white beach and long pier - HERE Naples conservancy - HERE Tin City in Naples - HERE Corkscrew Swamp - HERE Ding Darling on Sanibel (closed Fridays) - HERE Edison Ford Estate in Fort Myers - HERE Everglades National Park boat tours, SUPERB, Everglades City - HERE Babcock Ranch, EXCELLENT tour, on SR31 between Fort Myers and Arcadia - HERE Octagon wildlife sanctuary, just off SR31 between Fort Myers & Punta Gorda; Lauri Caron is an incredible lady who provides a home to a multitude of animals, from exotic tigers, a rare black leopard, lions, bears, wolves to donkeys, goats, chickens, ducks, raccoons, gators et al - check out the website video - you won't regret visiting Octagon. Citizens/local big & small businesses donate food, supplies, manpower to keep them all fed. All volunteers happily donate their time, some for 10 plus years, ensuring the majority of monies collected cares for the animals. Check website for opening hours - HERE Fort Myers tourist website, Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel - HERE Visit Florida website - HERE Muscle Car City, Punta Gorda - HERE Shopping anyone? Miramar Outlets with over 140 top designer outlet stores - HERE Sanibel Outlets - HERE If you like music the SW Fla top band is Deb & the Dynamics - they're good. Take a look at their schedule HERE. Their schedule is sparse at the moment, but Doc Fords is usually on a Sunday (under Fort Myers Beach Bridge HERE), grab a meal and watch as they play outdoors from 1 to 4pm - they used to play on a Friday night 6 to 9pm at Pinchers @ Wyndham Hotel on Estero beach. Extremely professional band, Deb sings like Janis Joplin, take a peek The sax players wander into the audience when playing, no charge to most venues, eat, drink or drink, don't eat, nobody cares, just go, watch this excellent band and have a good time.
