Punta Gorda, Florida, USA

Fort Myers Beach welcomed us with gentle waves, powdery sand, and a pace that begged us to slow down. Mornings started with peaceful walks along the shoreline, collecting seashells and spotting shorebirds. The town itself is laid-back, with charming beachside shops and casual cafes perfect for morning coffee.

We spent an afternoon exploring nearby Lovers Key State Park, kayaking through mangroves and observing playful dolphins. Fort Myers Beach is the perfect spot for families, couples, or anyone looking for a quiet escape. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with oranges and pinks, we reflected on Florida’s diverse beauty
