Fort Myers Beach Florida - Driving Through Fort Myers Beach
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Fort Myers Beach is a town on Estero Island, off the southwest Florida coast. A long, sandy beach faces the Gulf of Mexico. The Ostego Bay Marine Science Center showcases local marine life. To the east, trails run through Matanzas Pass Preserve nature sanctuary. Built on an ancient Calusa Indian shell mound, the 1900s Mound House has archaeological exhibits. Times Square shopping center has stores and restaurants.
Taking the exact same drive and playing them side by side would be a complete mind job. Thanks for this content. Many great memories in Ft Myers beach.
I was just thinking that.
My parents were full-time beach residents until Ian took their house and washed everything away. (I actually see a car in this that I think could possibly have been my dad.) Thank God they had the means, mobility, information, and alternative shelter to evacuate before the storm. Not everyone was as privileged. FMB was such a special place. It'll never be the same.
Such a bitter sweet feeling. My wife and myself have been staycationing on Estero Blvd for over 20 years. We have been all over the world and seen some beautiful things but Ft. Meyers was always “our spot”. I get such deep emotional feelings of happiness and so many great memories come flashing back while watching the same roads and sights I have seen so many times before during this video. I am retired NYPD and I have witnessed many sad and tragic things during that time including being there on 9/11. And without a doubt these were the two times in my life that brought tears to this mans eyes.
I know! I'm very sad
That long huh and can’t even spell Fort Myers right?
Same here for 20 years....my wife and I were married on that beach and we're Canadian. We are heart broken.
not any mor
This breaks my heart seeing the aftermath so many memories gone but we will rebuild Fort Myers Beach Florida strong!!!! God bless everyone affected in this!
Exactly 👍
This video means so much more now 🥹❤️
Thank you!
I agree. I have only a few pictures and memories from the 60's-70's from when my parents took me there. But they are my most closely held ones. This video will serve as history how beautiful Ft Myers was. ❤🩹
Wonderful that you made this video for a lasting memory of how it was once ....
🙏🙏🙏
It will be lovely again and appreciated even more.
damn, this hits right in the feels. i had to move a little over a year ago, i grew up down there (from when i was 3-28 years old) had so many great memories on that beach. glad to see that its beauty will be preserved in the meantime while the clean up and rebuilding happens and it comes back even better.
Exactly
Me too!
What years?

Growing up in San Carlos, I have literally driven over that bridge thousands of times. So sad it will never be the same again.
Casa Playa was looking so tropical and pretty, as usual. Wow, what a difference a few days can make. So glad we have this video to look back on. Now, onto rebuilding.
Wow! The timing of this video is chilling! Two days before this was reduced to rubble… Seeing all those people out there casually wallking around as if nothing is coing their way, so Florida. When a category 4 hurricane that already devastated Cuba is on the horizon, this area should have been deserted. So sorry for all this loss!
Incredible footage of before and after. Thank you for sharing 😢
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for posting.....this will always be precious to those who know.
Thank you 🙏
Looked so beautiful
Was there a couple weeks before the storm, loved it there and now it's in a sad way. Great memories there
United We Stand. 🙏🇺🇸
🙏🙏🙏
You brought back a lot of memories. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏
Thank you so much 🙏 🙏🙏
It all so beautiful before Hurricane Ian. Thank you for sharing this video!
🙏🙏🙏
One of my favorite places in the world. I grew up there in the 80s and 90s and have taken countless family vacations there since having kids, most recently in July 2022. So many memories in this video; from skipping school under the pier, to watching a few drunks get dragged from the water by police after prom, and many, many days spent splashing in the Pink Shell pool with my kids. This makes me nostalgic and breaks my heart all at once.
I was so mad seeing the new Margaritaville being built at the foot of the bridge because it ruined the panoramic view coming over the bridge and ruined the small town feel of Ft Myers Beach. Now it's practically the only thing left.
Unfortunately, for those of you who don’t know, this is no more
Beautiful. Thank you for this.
Thank you!
What a difference a day makes. I live in Bonita Shores and we were extremely lucky. As the sea rises this will become more common.
Thank you for this video. Fort Myers Beach is one of my most favorite places in the world. We were just there last month and that drive up and over the bridge is my favorite experiences when there. Now I can watch it on this video. Thank you 🤍
Thank you so much!
@@Florida4Kchannel ❤🩹 If you are still there, many of us are too. Keep going my friend.
🙏🙏🙏
@@minamataman7995 💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏
Well, it was nice knowing ya’
Wow! I worked at the Pink Shell for almost 13 years. Spent a lot of time at Times Square and on the beach on my days off. Hard watching this knowing how destroyed the island is.
It's nice to know you were so devoted to self improvement.
Great video,Mulberry Florida in Polk County could make a cool video especially the movie thester in their downtown area.Stay Safe!
IT'S all gone.......
I can see why so many people love it there !! So so gorgeous. But is this taken before Ian ?
Yes! A few days before Ian.
Love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much!!
It’s beautiful I lived in Fort Myers for about a year and a half from 2017 to 2019 it was beautiful we went here quite often but you’re right on the water so now there’s a hurricane that just came through a couple days ago hurricane Season is nine months out of the year now they just upgraded it why do you want to risk losing everything all the time and dying you live right on the water you’ve gotta expect that you’re going to get it eventually and it’s just not worth it
Exactly
According to the Florida State University Climate Center hurricane season in Florida is a six-month long period that occurs from June 1st to November 30th of each year .Aug 24, 2022
Beautiful video. I'll be seeing it myself on Saturday the first so I hope that other than a few palm fronds blown off, it will remain as nice as it has been on my previous visits. The live video from the pier went out just as the storm was peaking so I hope the worst is passed.
I was also watching when the live video stopped. The sea looked furious.
@@Florida4Kchannel I hope everything is ok with you and your family and friends. This storm is upsetting so many peoples lives, we can only imagine what it's like to have so much destruction around you.
It’s not going to look anything like you remember. It’s leveled
It’s completely gone, sorry
Yeah....... about that.....
That place didn't see it coming did they multi million dollar beach front homes completely swallowed and spit out. What a shame. We hope and pray they rebuild a stronger environment there that should withstand forced such as what the hurricane produced . We pray for everyone there.
Used to live and work on this beach. Now it's a pile of rubble and unrecognizable.
These people didn’t know they’d be the last tourists to step foot there for God knows how long
So sad that this is all gone...
Right
Wondering when this was actually filmed??
Two days before hurricane Ian 🌀
@@Florida4Kchannel Wow that’s crazy! I watched this video a few days ago and I needed tissues to dry my eyes. It will never look like that again. 🥺😢
@@mike840 is really sad.
