Glow by the Gulf on Fort Myers Beach

A Day to Reset, Reconnect, and Feel Better — Happening Tomorrow


There’s a quiet reality most people don’t talk about.  So many of us are running on empty.  Between stress, busy schedules, rebuilding, and just the pace of life lately, it’s easy to feel a little off. Low energy. Disconnected. Not quite yourself.  And the truth is, most people don’t know where to start to feel better.  That’s exactly why Glow by the Gulf was created.


A Different Kind of Event


This isn’t just something to “go to.”  It’s something to experience.  Tomorrow at Santini Plaza, Fort Myers Beach becomes a space where you can slow down, try something new, learn what your body actually needs, and connect with people who care about real health—not just quick fixes.


From movement and fitness to recovery, beauty, and preventative wellness, everything is designed to help you feel the difference, not just hear about it.


Start the Day with Intention


The morning begins on the beach, exactly where it should.


(6:30–7:30 AM) Sunrise Beach Yoga with Katie Tierney
(8:00–9:00 AM) Beachfront Boot Camp with Glen & Laura Huggins


There’s something powerful about the ocean, the rhythm of the waves, the salt air, and the grounding effect of sand beneath your feet. Many people describe the ocean as naturally calming, restorative, and even healing.  It has a way of helping you slow down, breathe deeper, and reset physically and mentally.


Discover What’s Possible for Your Health


From 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, the Vendor Village opens, bringing together a curated group of wellness professionals and businesses.


This is where awareness begins.


We don’t know what we don’t know, and when it comes to our health, that matters.

This is your opportunity to explore, ask questions, and discover new options you may not have known existed.

Come one, come all—there truly is something here for everyone.

You’ll have the opportunity to explore advanced wellness and recovery tools, learn about preventative health and early detection, experience new approaches to energy, mobility, and longevity, and connect directly with experts who can guide you.


Don’t Just Walk Through—Engage


This event is designed to be interactive.  As you explore, you can participate in the Wellness Experience Challenge by visiting vendors, trying experiences, and completing five stops.


Turn in your card by 2 PM at the What’s Up FMB tent and you’ll be entered to win our Golden Glow Giveaway prizes, including but not limited to a $35 gift card to Sweet Licks, a $100 gift certificate to Smokin’ Oyster Brewery, a Whale merchandise gift bag, a $100 gift card, and a $100 Islander gift card.  More importantly, you’ll walk away having actually experienced something, not just observed it.


End the Day Grounded


As the sun sets, we come back together.  A chance to slow down, breathe, and reset.


(7:00–8:00 PM) Sunset Beachfront Sound Bowl Yoga with Kelsey's Treasures


Why This Matters


Events like this aren’t just about one day.  They’re about creating space for better habits, better awareness, and better conversations around health.  Because when people feel better, everything changes.  And when a community starts prioritizing health together, that’s when something bigger begins.
