Although a famous tourist attraction year-round, in December The Edison & Ford Winter Estates opens at night for Holiday Nights: the two historic homes open for nightly tours and are decorated in elaborate garb.

For free fun in the great outdoors, don’t miss Lee County’s Manatee Park. At this spot, you can see gentle marine giants gathering in the warm waters produced by a nearby, former power plant. The best time to see most sea cows is between November and March.

Because the undersea geography and the Gulf’s tepid waters work together in carrying shells to the area, people do find some of the most unique shells around Fort Myers. If you want to learn more about shelling, head over to Sanibel and check out the Shell Museum.

Shuffle your feet in the shallow waters during the summer, just in case stingrays are hanging out under the sand. If you do not feel like driving and searching for beach parking, take the Lee Tran Park & Ride which is adjacent to the hotel.
