No tropical vacation is complete without a true sunset across the water. In Fort Myers, Florida, locals are spoiled with sunset views across the Gulf of Mexico every day. But if you’re only in the city for a little bit, finding the perfect sunset-viewing spot is crucial to a fulfilling Florida trip.
Witness the sky’s beauty at these five spots:
Located on Sanibel Island’s southern tip, this park boasts beautiful ocean views, white beaches and lush trees. With the lighthouse as the backdrop, you’re in for a treat come sunset.

This restaurant on Captiva Island is a fan favorite to watch the sunset. The beach bar opened in the mid-1970s and has been a neighborhood vibe for decades, drawing both locals and visitors. Come evening, crowds flock to take in the setting Florida sun while enjoying a frosty beer and plate of crab cakes.
Loved for its white-sand beaches, natural shoreline and abundance of wildlife, Lover’s Key State Park invites visitors to listen to the sound of water and the wind while enjoying a spectacular sunset over the water.

The most popular beach on Sanibel Island, Bowman’s Beach Park is home to a wide variety of shells for visitors to collect, from conch shells to cockle shells. As one of the largest beaches on Sanibel Island, there’s more than enough room to spread out, search for seashells and soak in the sunset.
Hop aboard Nautical Tiki Tours on Fort Myers Beach for a sunset cruise. These tours operate authentic, catamaran-style tiki boats to embrace both fun and relaxation while catching the Florida sunset. Look for marine life, too.
