Fort Myers, Florida Wheelchair Accessible Travel Guide

Located along the Caloosahatchee River, Fort Myers is a premier vacation destination in Southwest Florida. Visitors to the greater Lee County area can experience Fort Myers’ historic downtown, relax at the accessible Fort Myers Beach and explore Sanibel Island, one of the Gulf Coast’s greatest treasures.

Thanks to the support of The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel, I had the opportunity to explore this incredible part of Florida for the first time. I visited a national wildlife refuge, toured the former estates of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, and dined at the best restaurants in Fort Myers. These experiences are open and accessible to wheelchair users, and I can safely say you’ll have a blast!

Using this guide to wheelchair accessible travel in Fort Myers, Florida, you will be prepared to properly vacation in Florida’s most impressive Gulf Coast destination.
