It depends on your interests and tastes as to whether you’d like the lifestyle. It’s great for outdoor dining, fishing, boating, water sports and general outdoorsy type activities. There’s not much scenery aside from the beaches. Inland there’s not much to see, but the beaches of Ft Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva are great. If you have a job offer that’s great because there is high unemployment here. It’s quite a small town, but it merges with Cape Coral and North Ft Myers.

Like annuals such as impatiens that just die with the frost up north, will just keep growing down here and then after about 10 months to a year will just die and then you can just replace them as soon as they do.
