On the northern shore of the Caloosahatchee River, North Fort Myers is a refreshing blend of town and country. Pick up some old-fashioned Florida souvenirs at the kitschy-fun Shell Factory and Nature Park. Just a few miles away, you can explore some of the 17 miles of trails through pristine woods, marshes and prairie at the Prairie Pines Preserve or paddle along the Great Calusa Blueway. Head east to learn about sustainable farming at ECHO Global Farm where you'll experience farming at its most creative, with unique demonstrations, plants, and techniques being used to help farmers and urban gardeners in developing countries. 

North Fort Myers is also home to a very popular American Bald Eagle nest that has captured the hearts of many Eagle lovers. The nest can be viewed via the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam from the comfort of your home.
