When we moved here back in the70's there was an old swing bridge that never failed to get stuck open. There used to also be a huge archway made of shells welcoming you to Ft Myers Beach. I miss the archway but LOVE the view coming over that bridge. It never ceases to be a beautiful sight!
I live in Ireland and have spent part of my last 2 summer holidays (vacations) on Ft. Myers beach, its really nice to see it all again, I know every inch of what I saw in the video, the Yucatan restaurant really rocks, so do the ice creams over in Times square near the pier!!!!
I went to Ft. Myers Beach 3 years ago. It was the time of my life. Everything was perfect...but then I to go home. I live in Manhattan, Illinois, (it's about 45-50 minutes from downtown Chicago) and it's snowing right now. :( I'll be glad to trade places with you!! I'm sick of this 23 degree whether and snow; it's too depressing!
Hahaha, Manhattan's full of single hot girls, so this might just be the place for you, lol. I have a steady girlfriend though, so she can just come with me down to FL, lol. Now THAT's the life.
I live here in ft myers area and its nothin great. this is a place to visit. if you live here it sucks. but then again i'd rather live here than illinois haha
Haha, yeah, how do you think I feel? Here in Chicago right now, you can literally spit on the sidewalk and it'll be solid ice before it hits the ground! But then again, the nearly 2 feet of snow would cushion the fall. Whatever, if it gets me out of school, then I'm happy, haha.
It's not all it's cracked up to be. It's cold, wet, messy, and uncomfortable. lol. And be VERY glad you never have to DRIVE in it. It's HORRIBLE!! Especially during rush hour! I kinda like it here in Illinois though. We get all kinds of weather, and our seasons are extreme. We get snow in the winter, tornadoes and thunderstorms in the spring, sunny hot 100+ degree days in the summer, and all the colors and foliage in the fall. Either way, I'd still rather be in Florida tanning right now, hehe.
Saw this video last June, just before I moved down here from New Jersey. I've since made many trips to the beach and have to say that the view as you go over the bridge is breathtaking!!!
This would have been taken in Nov. Dec. of 2007 as he says they just tore down the Sandman..HoJos demoed around that time. They did the work after Thanksgiving 2007. Days Inn (gray building he passes after making the comment) is also gone now.
I love your video " WURKANIMAL ", I live in cape coral by country club blvd for 11 years now. It is a shame that i might have to live this city as the economy is really bad. specially here in lee county. Good video babe"
I live in Cape Coral too and drive down Country Club Blvd all the time. Yeah the economy is bad ,I hope you can pull through it and be able to stay. Thanks for watching and commenting :)

i went there last year for spring break it is so awsome i have a question wat time of year was that??? cause that bridge is always packed... im going there agian this year and im going to check if there is a building there were that hotel was riped down cause wen i was there it was gone to
There's some weird-ass traffic light before the bridge now...like, each lane has it's own traffic light. It was weird sitting and waiting for the light to change...even though everybody in the lane next to us could go haha.
Ft. Myers is the BEST! I love this video it really brings back memories. I was born and raised there. My friends and I spent MANY A NIGHT at the beach, sleeping in our cars, sneaking into hotel pools. I miss Ft Myers sooo much.
R U SERIOUS!! i feel bad you had to grow up there. i lived there for 6 months now i live in fort lauderdale fl ( i am iluv954 i changed my username) and it rocks. go here. i'm tellin u.
Ft. Myers stinks. But that's just my opinion. first, the beaches are filled with alge and stink like crap. Then, there is nothing to do that's "fun". I lived there for 6 months and i hated it. so i went back to Fort Lauderdale Fl by miami. oh yeah. its crazy fun. the atlantic ocean and stuff. there are more things to do. so, leave fort myers and live an exciting life here.
Do me a favor... stay over in the hell-hole that you live in. I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale & Miami and left for a reason... almost everyone left is some form of trash. Please STAY THERE!
That's funny that you mentioned that, back in March I ran the 5K run and the course went over that bridge twice - it was grueling, but yeah the view is awesome.
Hey, I LOVE! that place! Me and my family are going there in a week! Can you take more vidoes on the downtown place that was to your right? I want to show my friends where I will be, but I don't wasnt to buy a camera.
I love that view. Thnx for sharing. My daughters deadbeat dad lives there. If you see him let him know his daughter misses him and needs his support. His nickname is Elevator and he hangs out at The Beached Whale.
