Fourth of July Events in Fort Myers

• June 29, 2016

 
There’s no better place to be on Fourth of July than right here at the Best Western Plus Fort Myers Beach Resort Hotel! Book your stay at our glorious beachside hotel and enjoy great property amenities, amazing rooms and an oceanfront location that just can’t be beat!
 

Ocean-View Dining On Independence Day

One of the best things to do on a national holiday is go out and eat! For excellent food with even better views, head over to nearby Matanzas on the Bay for a casual dinner out. Or, go for some finer fare at Bayfront Bistro, an elegant but not-too-stuffy eatery featuring a very dynamic menu. You’ve also got a great option at The Cottage Beach Bar & Gulf Shore Grill, a local favorite for fresh seafood, a great atmosphere and stunning views.

Follow up your delicious lunch or dinner with a few scoops of good ol’ fashioned ice cream at the Royal Scoop Ice Cream Shop! With more than 44 homemade flavors to choose from, you can get creative and try something patriotic – red, white and blue scoops, perhaps?
 

Fireworks Cruises

Head out onto the water for a great evening of stunning fireworks to mark the stars and stripes celebration on the Fourth of July. Check out the Adventures in Paradise Fireworks Cruise of Sanibel Island, or partake in an Independence Day cruise with Pure Florida. Pure Florida offers cruises leaving direct from Fort Myers in a 49-passenger vessel.
 

Independence Day Sidewalk Sale

Score some great deals at the factory outlet shops at Miromar Outlets in Estero from July 1 to 4. If you’re in town on July 2, you can also witness some great fireworks at the outlet mall beginning at 6 p.m., with live music and entertainment. The outlet mall is about half an hour inland from our oceanfront hotel.
