Attended the music and seafood festival on Sunday, January 5, 2025. Most of the festival was decent. My friend and I purchased a crab cake combo plate and when we got home a few hours later we both …Full review by Randi r

Are there any bike lanes in Downtown Fort Myers River District ?
A:
It is not bike friendly..drivers move quickly and you would be safer on sidewalks.there are newer areas with wide recreational sidewalks that bicyclists and pedestrians seem to share nicely.
What happened to the fountain statue that in the 1950s was at the 5 point intersection near where the foot of the Caloosahatchee bridge now stands?

I wish I could help you. We only visit Fort Myers Beach a couple of times a year and that's only been recently. Maybe the Chamber of Commerce could help you out.

There is a Marina on the Downtown side. Just have to walk a block or two to some great, fun restaurants. Ford's Garage is always good! And The Lodge. Quite a few places now to eat there. There is also another area to the south of the Downtown Marina that also has docking. There is a Joe's Crab Shack there and a few other little places. They are separated by the high bridge of Hwy 41.
where is the best place to have morning coffee and watch people on first street? Faye

The response above is not what you're looking for, lol. She is referring to Fort Myers Beach and I believe you are asklng about Downtown Fort Myers. There are several spots that have outdoor seating right on First Avenue. No spot is better than others, but keep in mind most aren't open for breakfast. The Connection was good but they closed. United Ale House is right in the heart of Downtown on First and is open for breakfast. They are on a corner and have outdoor seating. Probably your best option. The food can be hit or miss. English food. There is a Starbucks there which has seating outside. There is a great little coffee shop called Java House which is on Hendry, 2 blocks off of First. Best coffee downtown. Good Luck!
We are thinking of moving from Sarasota to the River District in Fort Myers - would love your honest thoughts. Good move or bad. I am concerned about safety, crime and if it is truly going to become all that the regeneration set out to be - River District Residents - what say you???
