January is one of the most beautiful months to enjoy Fort Myers. With warm days in the mid-70s, cooler evenings, and very little humidity, it’s the perfect time to explore the outdoors without the summer crowds.
Visitors and locals love morning beach walks, shelling on Sanibel, and sunsets along the Gulf. The dry winter weather makes it ideal for kayaking, biking, golfing, and strolling through the lively Downtown River District. Nature lovers can enjoy peaceful boardwalk trails at Six Mile Cypress Slough, where wildlife is more active in the cooler months. For a relaxing day, the Edison & Ford Winter Estates offer tranquil gardens and fascinating history along the Caloosahatchee River. Dining outdoors is a January pleasure—fresh seafood tastes even better with warm breezes and golden-sky evenings. Whether you’re escaping the cold or simply savoring Florida living, January in Fort Myers offers sunshine, comfort, and endless ways to enjoy the season
