There are a ton of really cool and fun places to travel to in the United States. One of the most popular states to travel to for people who are seeking a little fun in the sun is Ft. Myers Beach, Florida. Not as typically popular destinations as Orlando, Tampa, or Miami, Ft. Myers Beach is definitely a hidden gem.

The city offers a ton of quiet and sandy beaches, some really fun activities, and a really quaint, beach town vibe.

One of the most popular destinations for visitors there is the Pier. At the Pier, you can walk onto the long wooden pier, overlooking the beach, shop around, grab some yummy food, or people watch. The shops around the Pier offer a decent amount of places to purchase beach supplies, bathing suits, hand-made jewelry, or get a cool henna tattoo.

For those who tend to get hungry when spending a day at the beach, one of the best restaurants at the Pier is called the Plaka. This joint serves amazing and authentic Greek food, perfect for filling up with their gyro platter or simply enjoying a light Greek salad. However, if you prefer more typical beach fare, Dairy Queen, Hooters, and other grills offer more American style options. Regardless, finishing off your meal with a Kilwins ice cream cup or a snow one from a local vendor is the way to go.

This location also offers other activities that can be found outside of the Pier. From boat rentals to beach volleyball games and jet skis, Ft. Myers Beach, Fl is one of the most relaxing and fun travel destinations for friends and family looking to enjoy each other’s company in a cute little beach town.
