Question Where is the best
place in Ft Myers to view the sunset?
Answer Anywhere along Ft
Myers Beach provides magnificent views of the sunset over the Gulf of
Mexico. There is also a free pier you can walk out on to see the
sunset located near Lynn Hall Park. This is an area with many restaurants and tourist shops you can
browse. --------------------------------------------------- Question A
few years back I went to a Dog Track in Ft Myers but I do not remember
exactly where it was. Can you help me
Answer The
Dog Track is actually located halfway between Naples and Fort Myers in the
town of Bonita Springs. As you travel from Ft Myers on US41, go down
until you see Old 41 and take that directly to the
track. ------------------------------------------------- Question How
far apart are the Red Sox and Twins spring training facilities? which is
the nicer stadium and area? Can you suggest any hotels to stay at that
are around of equal distance between both facilities?
Answer The
two facilities are around 5 to 7 miles apart from each other. The
Twins facility is located in more of an open area with lots of
Parking (Daniels Rd exit off of I-75). The Red Sox stadium is
located in City of Palms Park on Edison Avenue (Colonial Blvd
exit off of I-75). Both are nice stadiums with the Red Sox ballpark
having more of an old time feel to it. As far as a hotel to
stay at, there is a nice Courtyard by Marriott that is on Colonial
Bld.and Metro Pkwy which is equidistant from both
locations. ------------------------------------------------- Question Is
there a good area for shelling? What is the best time to
shell?
Answer: Sanibel and Captiva Island (a short hop from Ft
Myers) are the best areas for Shelling.The best time would be an
hour before or after low tide. There ia also a Shell Museum (at 3075
San-Cap Rd) which is the only one of its kind in the United
States. Exhibits are devoted to shells in art and history, rare
specimens, shell habitats, fossil shells and local
Sanibel-Captiva
shells. ------------------------------------------------- Question: Are
