Resilient community with a blend of old-school charm and modern amenities
Fort Myers Beach is a well-known coastal community in Florida, celebrated for its scenic wetlands, shorelines, and cozy residential streets. The area is characterized by a tight-knit, hardworking community that has come together to maintain its unique vibe despite the challenges posed by Hurricane Ian. The rebuilding efforts have introduced modern designs while preserving the retro charm that defines Fort Myers Beach.
The neighborhood offers a variety of dining options, with the densest collection of eateries located near Times Square. Popular spots include Bonita Bills Waterfront Cafe, known for its seafood and live music, and Bayside Grille, which serves pizza, burgers, and beer in a laid-back setting. For those looking to enjoy a quick meal, Meli's offers grab-and-go options, and the Yucatan Beach Stand provides fruity cocktails in an open-air tiki bar.
Nature enthusiasts can explore nearby parks such as Bowditch Point Park, a favorite among birdwatchers, and Lovers Key State Park, which offers activities like paddleboarding, fishing charters, and hiking. The Bay Oaks Recreation Center and Matanzas Pass Preserve are temporarily closed due to hurricane damage but are expected to reopen as rebuilding continues.
The community also hosts events like free outdoor concerts at Bayside Park, bringing back the live music performances that were a staple of the local culture. Essential services are easily accessible, with a Publix grocery store located roughly in the island's midpoint. However, traffic slowdowns along Estero Boulevard can make getting around a bit slow at times. The closest hospital is approximately 8 miles north on the mainland.
Accessible transportation options for convenient travel
While Fort Myers Beach is primarily car-dependent, residents of Bella Lago have several transportation options to consider. The building's location on the south end of the island provides quick access to Bonita Springs and Naples. For air travel, Southwest Florida International Airport is about a 45-minute drive, approximately 23 miles away.
The area is bikeable, with several walking and biking trails available for those who prefer to explore the neighborhood on two wheels. Although public transit options are minimal, the proximity to major roads and highways ensures that residents can easily reach their destinations by car. The building's under-building parking and private garage level storage units add to the convenience for those who rely on personal vehicles for transportation.
