Fort Myers Beach Resorts // One year after Hurricane Ian

In April I posted a video showing these condos, resorts, and hotels from the beach side. Today, a month shy of the one year date of Hurricane Ian we are back from the street to get a look at the progress.
I also included a quick walk around Lynn Hall Beach park at the start of this video. This is the parking lot and bathrooms just north of the Pier and Times Square. I also did a walk around the newly reopened Bowditch Point Park at the end of this video. Although it's "open", the only thing open is the parking lot. There is debris in the sand and the sand was very hard. It's end of summer, so seaweed season here, and there was plenty at this beach. All restrooms and structures are closed, but portable bathrooms were brought it. You can see the dredges for the sand restoration project going back and fort around the point.
As always, thank you all so much for you continued support.

I love these Videos. I use to have a Condo on FMB. Been in Naples for the last 5 years. But I left FL in March haven't been back yet. I really enjoy seeing the progress since Ian. Can't wait until I return

[@LindsayLola_]

Glad you like them! I hope you can make it back soon.

40 years of our home gone. Best of luck to everyone staying/rebuilding on FMB. Perhaps someday we’ll return, but it’s too hard right now.

[@LindsayLola_]

I'm so sorry to hear that

[@Tmfreeland]

Thank you so much. We have vacationed at Fort Myers Beach for over thirty years. We have stayed at both the Pink Shell and Vacation Villas numerous times. We have also stayed at Diamondhead, the Lana Kai, Kona, and many others, including private residences. It will take years to recover, but everyone can help. We are still vacationing in this area but know it will be changing. Videos like yours are helpful for us who are still paying attention to this recovery.

I’m so glad it was helpful!
The day Hurricane Idalia was sweeping by I filmed diamondhead and lani Kai. I have A LOT of resorts and condos to label on that video but hope to have it up soon.

Thank you!

I enjoyed vacationing on FMB the last few years and was planning a stay the week after Ian. We were so disappointed and so we were returning this year in Oct but Idalia knocked our condo plans again. I used to stay at the Neptune but they are still down from Ian, I hope they're back soon. We hope to come back some time so pray for a peaceful end of hurricane season.

[@LindsayLola_]

Thanks for your prayers! I hope you can plan a visit soon!

Still sad to see a lot of places not open yet and we loved fort Meyers but unfortunately our hotel closed for good will keep checking to see when places open thank you for the updates

[@LindsayLola_]

I'm sorry to hear that Wendy. Not much is open right now, down the road on Bonita Beach I hear lots of condos are looking to open early 2024.
