RV rental Fort Myers Beach, FL: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

There’s so much to see and do on and off the island of Fort Myers Beach, but the definite go-to destinations would be the miles of beaches that circle the barrier island. There are several beaches where you can simply sit and enjoy the day. However, just south of the island is Lovers Key State Park. Here, the beaches are protected and offer you the same enjoyment of sun and waves you’ll get at most other beaches, but you’ll also get the additional wildlife spotting, kayak rentals, and boardwalk. Just about 30 minutes from downtown Fort Myers Beach is Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve, in Estero . Florida’s first aquatic preserve, the park serves to protect the bay and the surrounding marshes in order to focus on the welfare of the wildlife in the area. When you visit, you can hike as many or as few of the seven trails on site. Each trail gives you views of different ecosystems within the park, such as bay views or marsh views or even pine flatwood views. Also a frequent stop for migratory birds, Estero Bay is a wonderful place to see some of the waterfowl that Florida and the Gulf Coast are so famous for. If you are willing to drive your Fort Myers Beach RV rental by owner a little farther, just shy of two hours southeast of town, near Immokalee , is the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge. The land here has been set aside to aid the re-growth of the local Florida panther population. Here, you can immerse yourself in their natural habitat. Most of the refuge is not open to the public, but there are two hiking trails you can explore. While it is very unlikely you will see a panther, there is a great possibility in seeing some other Florida wildlife, such as red-shouldered hawks, deer, and osprey.
