Weather and Logistics

Below is a quick overview of weather and logistics:

 

Transportation

Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), located in Fort Myers, is the gateway to Fort Myers' Islands, Beaches and Neighborhoods. RSW is located approximately 30 minutes from Fort Myers Beach and 45 minutes from Sanibel Island. With 20 carriers making 190 daily non-stop flights, service is available from most of the nation's metropolitan areas, as well as select destinations in Europe and Canada. For current flight schedules to and from RSW, call (239) 590-4855 or visit www.flylcpa.com.

 

Interstate Travel

Interstate 10 runs east-west from California to Jacksonville, FL, and Interstate 95 extends from the northeastern U.S. to south Florida. Travelers using I-95 can take Interstate 4 west to connect with southbound Interstate 75. North-south I-75 connects directly to I-10 and is the major highway that traverses Lee County, the home of Fort Myers' Islands, Beaches and Neighborhoods. I-75 begins in south Florida and ends in the Midwestern U.S.

 

In-Town Driving

In addition to Interstate 75, major roads in Lee County include U.S. 41, which runs north-south and parallel to the interstate; McGregor Boulevard, which extends from downtown Fort Myers and links with roads leading to Sanibel and Captiva islands and Fort Myers Beach; and State Road 78, which connects the mainland with Pine Island, crossing Cape Coral as it extends south and west.
