August on Fort Myers Beach
August on Fort Myers Beach: Summer Isn't Over Yet
When most people think of Fort Myers Beach, they picture the height of winter season. But ask a local, and they'll tell you one of the island's best-kept secrets—August is a wonderful time to experience everything that makes our community special.
The beaches are just as beautiful, the sunsets are just as breathtaking, and there's plenty happening to keep visitors and locals entertained all month long.
Support Local, Discover More
Summer is an important time to support the businesses that make Fort Myers Beach such a unique destination. Whether you're enjoying fresh seafood with a waterfront view, shopping in one of our locally owned boutiques, booking a fishing charter, or listening to live music at your favorite island venue, every visit helps strengthen our community.
One of the best parts of visiting during the summer is the chance to slow down, meet the people behind the businesses, and experience the island like a local.
Explore the Island Charm Crawl
There's still time to complete the Island Charm Crawl, one of What's Up FMB's most popular fundraising events.
Visit participating businesses, collect exclusive charms, and discover new places along the way. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a longtime resident, the Charm Crawl is a fun way to explore Fort Myers Beach while supporting local businesses and community events.
Every stop has its own personality, making the journey just as rewarding as completing the collection.
Wellness by the Water
Looking for a peaceful way to begin or end your day?
Join us for our Island Zen Sound Bowl & Meditation sessions, where the soothing sounds of crystal bowls and the beauty of the Gulf create a relaxing experience unlike any other.
It's the perfect reminder that Fort Myers Beach isn't just a vacation destination—it's a place to reconnect, recharge, and unwind.
