With the start of the new school year quickly approaching,
the Town of Fort Myers Beach wants everyone to enjoy the upcoming weekend by
visiting Fort Myers Beach and supporting our local businesses so the Town is
offering FREE PARKING at our pay stations and parking meters starting from 4 pm
Friday, August 2nd, 2018 until 9 am on Monday August 6th,
2018.
The Town and its contract
partners’ team are diligently working to remove fish and algae coming in with
each high tide onto the beach and out of the canals. Cleaning efforts are also
underway by 4 crews in the back bay - Matanzas Pass Bridge to Publix has been
picked up and Publix to FishTail Marina is currently in progress. The
first sweep of the beach is complete from the pier to Bayview Avenue and the
associated debris has been piled for disposal via daily dumpster hauling. The
remaining areas will continue to be cleaned every day until the daily landings
of fish and algae cease coming ashore. Lee County is responsible for
cleaning the beach from the pier northward Bowditch.
