Thank you for your posts! As a longtime Fort Myers Beach vacationer, I find this valuable information, although sometimes hard to watch. Some of my best memories are of this special place.
Why aren’t they planting any more trees or palm trees ? I know everyone wants and needs the business back but part of the charm was all the palm trees. I don’t know 🤷♀️ Still exciting to come visit again and possibly stsyin !!
Was there August 2023, and it was so desolate. It was deserted. I hope there's been some improvement in recovery since then. Process is slower than we would like. Never seen Fort Myers beach so desolate. There seemed to be a shortage of workers from what we could see. Places a little farther inland seemed to do better. Just a loss of power.
yes a shortage of workers, supplies, and a very slow permit and insurance process. Although still not back to normal crowd level I was happy to see quite a few more people around than in December. I also go pretty early in the mornings so that's why you don't see much activity in this video.
@@LindsayLola_ The insurance companies need to get out of the way, so more recovery can take place. They're standing in the way. After Michael in the panhandle in 2018, they ripped some friends we've known many years off (my dad's college roommate and his wife) and they couldn't get their house fixed.
I want a place to go to today. where I can walk around and check out some shops, walk the beach, and have access to the bathroom and maybe a good place for some fried chicken and some ice cream. Any suggestions? i don't usually watch non narrated videos. Usually read the comments for the best information on these type of videos.
Lindsay - Do you think they are doing a good job overall of rebuilding and developing Fort Myers Beach area? We go every year from Ohio so interested in your opinion thx!
Oh that's such a loaded question! Ask a local and they will say it's being ruined, ask a visitor and they'll say it's taking too long. I'm in the middle. Some parts of FMB did need to be updated, but over all I'll be very very sad if it looses its charm and becomes a Marco Island. Time will tell.
@@LindsayLola_ Thank you Lindsay. I have enjoyed some of your other videos so I was very interested to hear your opinion on the progress at FMB. We've never been to Marco Island. Question - Is there another beach on the golf side that you would recommend ?
Yes! Many! Have you been to Captiva or Boca Grande? I also grew up going to Bonita Beach and Little Hickory. You can check out some of my beach reccomemdations here lindsaylola.com/beaches/

So sad seeing the pier still not rebuilt
I agree. It’ll be awhile.
@@LindsayLola_ Did the city indicate a timeline?

Glad it was helpful! I hope you can come visit soon!
Sadly it is void of people. So many great memories.
People are back! I walk in the mornings.

I haven't heard about the trees but I'll keep a eye out, hope you make it back soon!
So cute Fort Myers ❤

Where are you staying Annie? Fort myers? You can do all that at fort myers beach.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I’ll be going there in a couple weeks. How clear is the ocean looking these days ?
overall good! However they did a big water release from Okeechobee so its day by day right now.
