Fort Myers Beach Short Term Parking
Metered parking can be found throughout the beach. Every beach access has a few meters that provide you with some short or long term parking. Also there are meters located at Old Sand Carlos Blvd., Estero Blvd., Fifth Street, and Center Street.

The meters on the beach are monitored from 9:00am until 6:00pm every day of the year. Violations will be issued to vehicles who have expired time limits, park for over two hours, or park in prohibited areas such as handicap spaces. Fines will be issues to vehicles with parking violations.
