Southwest Florida Weather

Southwest Florida Beaches

     Southwest Florida has beautiful weather, it's always hot, sunny, and humid, topping out at 95 degrees, feeling over 105 degrees sometimes! Be careful, and bring lots of sunscreen. During Florida's rainy season, May to October, expect your beach day to end short. Everyday, around 2-3pm,  thunderstorms roll in, some lasting 15 minutes, others lasting the whole evening. Another weather feature to watch out for is hurricanes. While they don't come often, they pack a punch with flooding rains and wind, and can cause major headaches.

Southwest Florida is home to many pristine beautiful beaches. Some of these beaches include Sanibel Beach, Fort Myers Beach, and Marco Island Beach. Pitching up an umbrella and chair is the perfect way to relax in the sun. Just a few of the many activities these beaches feature are jet skiing, paddle boarding, and parasailing. These wide-open beaches are also great for any beach sports. The water also provides many great activities to do as well, such as snorkeling, surfing, boogie-boarding, or fishing.

Southwest Florida Food

Southwest Florida Fishing

     You can't go to Southwest Florida without having great food. Southwest Florida is located right next to the Gulf of Mexico, and that means that this place is a seafood lovers dream! Local seafood spots offer a wide variety of fresh fish, calamari, clams, shrimp, and even alligator! If you're not a seafood lover, (like me), don't worry. Many local restaurants offer great Italian cuisine, burgers, pizza, and many more options. Best for last, great ice cream places!

If you're an avid fisherman, Southwest Florida is the place for you! You can fish by going on fishing trips, renting a boat, or by simply walking. Types of baits you would use would be live bait like minnows, shrimp, squid, and other "chunks of fish." There are many good types of fish to catch, like grouper, snapper, or tuna, especially if you know how to cook it right. You can have a delicious meal, while also saving money. If fishing isn't for you, there are many more activities for you.
