Fort Myers Beach has plenty of options for you to rent a boat of your own!

There are quite a few options right on the beach (south of the Fort Myers Beach Pier — you’ll see boat rental companies along the beach).

You can rent jet skis, pontoon boats, deck boats and more.

The best part is that you can explore the gulf side of Fort Myers Beach, or idle along in the inlets, and passages along the intercoastal on the back side of the beach…

Keep in mind, Fort Myers Beach is a barrier island.

Bring your camera, because the chances are you’ll see dolphins playing in the water, manatee moving around just under the surface, pelicans looking for lunch, along with the dozens of different types of birds, and fish moving around throughout the water.

If you’re interested in setting up your boat rental in advance, give our reservation agents a call at (866) 218-1709, or contact us on our Web Site at: www.BeachFloridaRentals.com, and we’ll assure you have a safe, enjoyable experience!

Times Square and the Fort Myers Beach Pier!

(In the photo above, you can see Times Square, and the Fort Myers Beach Pier off in the distance – special thanks to Charly Caldwell for this photo!)

Times Square is actually named after the large clock tower just off the entrance to the beach, and is a one block pedestrian street designed for your entertainment.

If you are someone that enjoys walking around and taking in the local culture, you’ll have a blast.

Times Square is home to many restaurants near the beach and just off the beach, there are ice cream parlors with over 2,000 flavors, shops, and so more.

During the day, Times Square is full of beach-goers walking to and from the restaurants and beaches enjoying the beautiful sunny weather. By night, the bars open their windows and doors and the night entertainment begins.

If you enjoy live music, you’ll really enjoy Fort Myers Beach.  If you love a great Margarita, and enjoy meeting new people while taking in the island lifestyle — you’ll feel right at home.

A main part of Times Square and Fort Myers Beach is the Fort Myers Beach Pier.

Just past the clock tower you will see the Fort Myers Beach Pier that is roughly 500 feet long. Halfway down the pier is a little store for candy, snacks, refreshments, and fun souvenirs.

Do you enjoy fishing?

The Fort Myers Beach Pier is a perfect spot to throw your fishing line over, sit back relax, and wait for a bite. After the sun sets, locals have been known to enjoy some late night fishing and catch sharks!

If you are someone that enjoys a sunset, then taking your family out onto the Fort Myers Beach Pier will be the highlight of your trip.  It’s simply unforgettable…

About Fort Myers Beach:

The city of Fort Myers, Florida is in Southwest Florida just south of Tampa. Fort Myers Beach is located about 10 miles south of Fort Myers, on its own island, and runs down the coastline on east side of the Gulf of Mexico.

The island itself is only 7 miles long, but with being named the world’s safest beach, you can actually walk the entire way without worries of an undertow while enjoying the shallow water.

Imagine being able to walk down one of Florida’s softest, and sandiest beaches with your loved ones.

While Fort Myers Beach is only a bridge away from the historical city of Fort Myers, you’ll feel as though you are on an island of your own.

Whether you are interested in shelling, checking out some of the great local catches, beachcombing, golfing, renting a boat and doing some catching of your own, or just having a relaxing time on the beach — we’ve got you covered!
