| A taxi from the airport will cost
about $50. You could arrange a return trip to the airport for about $50 with
Paradise Taxi (239-470-7500) or Errol's Taxi (239-770-3333),
both local operators.
Although we recommend renting a car to
explore attractions and events near
Fort Myers Beach, you can travel up and down the entire island on the
Beach Trolley (only 25 cents!). The trolley stops about every 5
minutes during the day (starting 6:30 am), every 12 minutes between 5-6,
and then every 30 minutes until about 9 pm.
There are no bike paths per se, although
many folks ride along the paved shoulders of Estero Boulevard. A variety
of rental bikes, scooters, and in-line skates are available at
Fun Rentals,
1901 Estero Blvd., at Ohio Avenue (239-463-8844).
You can also rent bicycles
and canoes by the hour in
Lover's Key State Park, just a 10 minute drive to
the south of us.
On the other hand, you can find plenty to
do with just a pair of sandals or sneakers as your sole (excuse the pun)
mode of transportation.
Actually, when we're at home during
cold Minnesota winters we talk about spending an entire week there
barefoot!
