Island Offers Multiple Free Activities
Fort Myers Beach is a lot of things to a lot of people, full-time home, seasonal residence, annual getaway paradise, day trip location, once in a lifetime dream vacation destination. No matter which camp you fall into, however, to go to our fabulous restaurants and bars and tourist attractions, you generally need a wallet full of cash or credit, but there are several fun activities you can do here that are absolutely free, if you can walk to the location or scrape up a few bucks for parking! Looking for free fun New Year’s Eve festivities? Head to Times Square, beginning with the Town of Fort Myers Beach’s 22nd Birthday Celebration with its annual Birthday Cupcakes distribution from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., or until they are gone, with a photo booth and dunk tank. The complimentary Cupcake giveaway is a yearly tradition that dates back to the Town’s 1995 founding. The Times Square Merchant & Event Association rocks the plaza with live music all day long, with “Remedy” jamming from Noon to 5 p.m., then “High Tide” from 7 p.m. through the New Year. Street entertainers perform for tips, so try to give them something. At Midnight, the Town hosts its traditional Beach Ball Drop to ring in 2018. Immediately following this is a fireworks extravaganza off the Fort Myers Beach pier.  FULL STORY
