Planning a perfect day on the turquoise waters of the Gulf
of Mexico includes a stop in Fort Myers. Stop in Punta
Rassa or sail up the Caloosahatchee River where you find
an array of accommodations, restaurants, marinas, fuel
stops and launch sites — everything you need to recharge
and restore. Lower your anchor, find a hearty seafood
bite, or enjoy a refreshing cocktail at one of these popular
spectacular locations — accessible only by boat.
