While Ft. Myers sits on the Gulf of Mexico coast on the west shore of Florida, Fort Myers Beach, located just across a strip of water from the city, is an island and home to four beaches and many attractions for tourists. Just north of the Big Cypress National Preserve and the Florida Everglades National Park, the town of Fort Myers Beach also boasts many natural attractions. With no golf courses on the island itself, vacationers are within easy travel to more than 10 golf courses in the area, such as the Forest Country Club and Eagle Ridge Golf Club.
