Day 5 : Fort Myers, Estero & Bonita Springs
Rise and shine and start your day by exploring Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, learn about this incredible Wetland community run entirely by volunteers. Fill up with a hearty Italian lunch at the fabulously named
Two Meatballs in The Kitchen , in Fort Myers.
Don't miss the Koreshan State Historic Site. Throughout history Florida has welcomed pioneers of all kinds, Cyrus Reed Teed was probably the most unusual, bringing followers to Estero in 1894 to build a New Jerusalem for his new faith, Koreshanity. The colony, known as the Koreshan Unity, believed that the entire universe existed within a giant, hollow sphere. The colony began fading after Teed´s death in 1908, and in 1961 the last four members returned the land to the state. Today, you can picnic, hike and fish where Teed´s visionaries once carried out survey experiments.
Grab a coffee and chocolate at Norman Love Confections, before you head off for a spot of retail therapy at Miromar Outlets or more upscale shopping at Coconut Point. Sink a beer at Doc's Beach House on Barefoot Beach, Bonita, before heading back to your hotel.
