While you are spending time on Fort Myers Beach, there are many other places to go for a day out to experience all that South Florida has to offer. One of the most popular activities for visitors to this area to do is a trip to the Florida Everglades.
The Everglades are subtropical wetlands in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Florida, comprising the southern half of a large watershed. The system begins near Orlando with the Kissimmee River, which discharges into the vast but shallow Lake Okeechobee. Water leaving the lake in the wet season forms a slow-moving river 60 miles (97 km) wide and over 100 miles (160 km) long, flowing southward across a limestone shelf to Florida Bay at the southern end of the state. The Everglades are shaped by water and fire, experiencing frequent flooding in the wet season and drought in the dry season. Writer Marjory Stoneman Douglas popularized the term “River of Grass” to describe the sawgrass marshes, part of a complex system of interdependent ecosystems that include cypress swamps, the estuarine mangrove forests of the Ten Thousand Islands, tropical hardwood hammocks, pine rockland, and the marine environment of Florida Bay.
“Everglades Adventure” provides 3 wonderful tours of the Everglades, including an airboat ride, Everglades City tour, Interactive animal experience, and a Nature Drive/Walk.
With a Fort Myers Beach pickup location (17105 San Carlos Blvd, Fort Myers Beach, Florida 33931) , Everglades Adventure is the perfect way to spend a fun day out while you’re staying on Fort Myers Beach.
