Lee County

A southwest Florida gulf resort destination, famous for Sanibel Island's shell beaches, wildlife refuges, and the Edison winter estate.

Lee County is located on the Gulf of Mexico coast in southwest Florida, consisting of the Fort Myers urban area and barrier islands such as Sanibel and Captiva. Sanibel Island is famous for shelling, the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge is ideal for birdwatching, the Edison and Ford Winter Estates showcase the winter lives of the two famous figures, and Manatee Park and the Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve offer close encounters with subtropical nature. Winter and spring are dry and comfortable, while summer and autumn are hot and humid with hurricane risks. The gateway is Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers.
