Guided Walks & Fauna Tracks
A 2000-acre woodland and wetland, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve acts as a filter collecting run-off water during heavy rains. Before making its way out to the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve, the water is filtered by the slough, where sediment and pollutants settle or are absorbed by the plants. It's an interesting place to visit during the wet season (June through October), when water up to 3ft deep flows through the area.
The preserve also has an otter pond, a mile-long boardwalk lined with benches, free guided walks (call for times), a picnic area and an amphitheatre used for flora and fauna talks.
From downtown Fort Myers, take Cleveland Ave south to Colonial Blvd…

Key West Express
Kicking back on the Key West Express will save you 300 miles of driving and seven hours in the car. The high-speed ferry leaves Fort Myers Beach in the morning and arrives at Key West in the early afternoon; it arrives back in Fort Myers Beach at around 22:00. All in all you'll have about 5½ hours in Key West. Round-trip tickets (adult/child/senior around US$140/around US$120/around US$130, including parking) cost the same even if you're not returning that day.
To reach the ferry, head south on San Carlos Blvd (Hwy 865) toward the Sky Bridge to Fort Myers Beach; just before the bridge, turn right on Main St and left on Fisherman's Wharf.
