A guided boat tour and tram tour are fun, and you can rent canoes here, too. Even farther south near Ft. Myers is Sanibel and Captiva islands. Sanibel is home to Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, which is known for its good bird-watching. Sanibel and Captiva themselves are great places to relax, with their small-island feel and quaint shops and restaurants.
Many people use bikes to get around the islands and to go to the beach.
If you want to stay in Ft. Hope you find these suggestions are good, and hope you get the chance to have some fun in the southwest. E-mail the editor . All rights reserved.
