| The city's offerings vary from museums and educational attractions along McGregor Boulevard (also home to Edison's estate) to the entertainment and nightlife hub of downtown Fort Myers. Outlying like spokes on a wheel are more than 100 islands, including resort spots Sanibel and Captiva. These islands are known for their outstanding fishing, shelling and beachfront resorts. Other islands include Punta Gorda, Bonita Springs and Estero Island. Two Major League Baseball teams, the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins, make their spring training homes in Fort Myers. Ft. Myers has been the spring-training home of the Minnesota Twins since 1990 while the Red Sox have been coming here since 1993. Both stadiums seat about 7,000 people and provide an up-close way for fans to enjoy major league baseball. It's no wonder Fort Myers recently made Orbitz.com's top 10 list of "fastest-growing beach destinations" in the U.S. |
