Fort Myers is one of Florida's Gulf Coast commercial and urban centers. With a full service airport and ports for cargo, fishing and recreation, this city of almost 600,000 people sits on the Gulf Coast is more than a vacation hot spot. It is a thriving economic hub, with Florida Gulf Coast University within 30 minutes to the southeast.

But there is a reason to be here that people from points north in both Minnesota and Boston are well familiar with. Both the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins have their spring training camps here. With endorsements like that, this city on the Gulf is a lot to look at, so take your time and pick the spot where your apish feet fit best. It's here somewhere.
