I would stay on the east coast. Much prettier water in the southeast than on the west coast.
Try Jupiter. It's beautiful!

Delray beach has a great vibe, great restaurants and beach too. Atlantic Ave is the spot.Have to visit Cape Coral and Palm Beach for work trip in Jan (coming from Boston). My Wife and I are trying to turn it into a Weekend Trip.
Where's the best area to visit for restaurants, bars, beaches, and relaxation for a couple days? West Coast (Sanibel Island/Ft. Myers, or even Naples/Marco Island) or East Coast (West Palm Beach area)?
Tarpon Springs, Clearwater are great. Ft Myers beach is a little trashy. Naples is ritzy but nice. West Palm has a great beach (Flagpole) and great nightlife too (Clematis). I prefer the east coast for resteraunts and nightlife, the west for natural beauty, islands, and beaches.Looking to park it at the beach/pool during the day. Good food/restaurants and cool bars/beach bars at night.
In your 20"s go to south beach.

First off, Hopefully we won't have Red Tide, because its down in Collier now. We just came off of a year and a half of it (Big Sugar, Big Phosphate, Disney, Agriculture and aging water treatment facilities and Political Graft, have caught up with our once great state). You can Check the FWC sight for daily reports.
If you're going to be in Ft Myers and the Cape be sure you know where you're traveling or maybe consider renting a Bullet proof vest.
No seriously, if you're over on the West Coast - come to Punta Gorda (30 min from Cape or Ft Myers, about twenty minutes north of where you heard the last gun shots).
We have a great Irish Pub, the Celtic Ray, it was named the second best place to Celebrate St Patricks Day in America. We also have The Ice House, an English Pub. Have a decent place on the Bayfront called Hurricane Charley's good sushi. All have live music.
Do yourself a favor, and take a day and go over to Boca Grande, most secluded beaches you'll find (Drive down to the end of one of the streets near 10th or 12th street, there's parking for a car or two. Its one of Florida's most beautiful Islands - and I was a corporate Captain, and have been to most of Florida's. Gulf Coast is it, not like Atlantic City over here. Can't go wrong in Captiva - South Sea's Plantation is awesome. Take a boat to Cabbage Key and Useppa Isands. View attachment 100678View attachment 100679. Hope this helps
Sir Pizza is in Ft MyersCape Coral has fantastic restaurants. No chains, all locally owned, with a recent influx of good chefs from major cities looking to semi-retire.
Slates is a New Orleans style steak house
Nice Guys has unique, but delicious pizza,
Point 57 is really good
There’s nothing but chains in Fort Myers, and Naples is over priced. If you are staying in Cape Coral, eat there.
Me and a friend just got back from Ft. Lauderdale beach/Las Olas area wkend before last, had a ball. Low key, good vibes, pretty inexpensive, and no complaints about the food. Was just a spur of the moment trip.I'm a Sanibel Island/Marco Island guy myself. If you want seclusion, nice beaches, nice food and great scenary, you cant go wrong going either of those routes.
WPB is like a lesser version of Ft Lauderdale Beach/Las Olas. Its more city like. You won't really get that "Wanna getaway?" vacation like vibe if you ask me.
What chew know bout Siesta Key?
In your 20’s, go to Delray- Atlantic Ave..they have plenty of bars and restaurants all done by walking. A few hotels on the Ave as well you can choose from.Been to Miami 3 times and always have a good time. Wanted to check out a different area of Florida.
Don't need the crazy party scene, but def good vibes
