Depends upon what you like to do... Sanibel and Captiva have good beaches/resorts with beach side pools. Good fishing and seafood restaraunts around the area as well. Fort Myers, Bonita, and Estero have good golf courses. Nales is the rich area of SWFL with some shopping and higher end restaraunts.

The night life is ok with some decent spots in South Fort Myers. It's more of a relaxed pace here with a bunch of tourists and old people. Let me know if you need more specifics!

Fort Myers beach is a real nice place to be at night its not too crowded on the beach but the roads can be. some really good restaurants are Shrimp Shack, Joe's Crab Shack, Clancey's, and Bahama Breeze those are all more towards Fort Myers city. have fun man

lot of people do pcp and crack down there......why the hell you wanna vacation there? lol

random statement... Our only so called ghettos are in east ft. myers (brown town) and lehigh acres. All of the tourist areas are far far away from this.

Also a trip to Pine Island for a half day and dinner @ Reds is a must. They have a baked seafood dish that is out of this world (Grouper, Prawns, and Scallops) in a lemon butter sauce, melted cheese, and a bit of wine/bread crumbs for like $15.
