Fort Myers is a gateway to a number of white sand beach islands and a thriving
city with historical and natural attractions. The city is located directly on
the wide Caloosahatchee River and offers numerous parks that preserve the fragile
habitat while providing access to river boating and trails for biking and hiking.
Manatee Park is home to a herd of endangered Florida manatees that come to winter
in its warm waters every year. The city is most notable for its two historically
famous residents, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. The light bulb inventor and
automobile founder lived side by side and now visitors enjoy tours of both homes
and their private gardens. The Professional Theater, a sophisticated performing
arts hall, and two sports parks, which host the spring training for Major League
Baseball teams, provide entertainment in the Fort Myers area.
