Fort Myers has its share of family-welcoming restaurant chains, in addition to many independent restaurants offering a wide choice of international cuisine. Since Southwest Florida's coastline offers excellent fishing many restaurants feature fresh seafood.

The Florida weather is ideal for eating alfresco, and many restaurants in downtown Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach offer outdoor dining. Times Square at Fort Myers Beach has several outdoor restautants, ideal for casual dining.

If you want to combine dinner with entertainment consider attending Dinner Theatre or board the Seminole Gulf Railway’s Murder Mystery Dinner Train.

There are many watering holes and nightclubs along Tamiami Trail, and Fort Myers Beach has numerous low-key beach bars.
