Is Fort Myers FL worth spending 48 hours there or just driving down to Miami & spending the weekend there is better? Just want to spend a relaxed weekend nothing too overboard !

I would drive to Sanibel or Captiva for the weekend

Thats the shell beach right ? It looked sooo beautiful 😍! Definitely on my list ! Thankyou :)

Miami is probably the worst city in Florida to go to if you are looking to relax

Yes, no reason to drive all the way to Miami. Hit up Doc Fords, Ft Myers Beach, Marco Island, Captiva, Lovers Key SP, Sanibel. I do weekend trips to this area all the time, it is great for 48 hours. Hyatt Regency Coconut point resort you could do 48hrs just at resort. Has waterpark and private island ferry if you got points to blow

Totally second sanibel and or captiva. You are never far from the beach so even if you’re not ocean front you’re a quick drive or bike ride from a public beach. These islands are very relaxed (no boardwalk situation, no high rise condos filled with tourists, no chain hotels or restaurants). They are obviously more crowded “in season” (winter), but it won’t be your typical spring break location crazy.

I'm in Mid West & hence planning the escape 😂! I can relate to what you mean :) !

Also recommend Sarasota and Siesta Key.

Just here to also wholeheartedly recommend Captiva and Sanibel. US news just named them one of the 50 most beautiful places in the world. There is nothing that fits your #beach #lowkey hashtags better!

Studies show that just 3% of Latinos refer to themselves as LatinX, and the overwhelming majority of Latinos hate the term. Yet every institution, including advertising, continues to call them LatinX against their will, and has created this narrative that nobody is allowed to say Latino anymore - you must say LatinX. What is going on here?

On May 1, 1992, Bush deployed 4,000 Army and Marine troops to South Central Los Angeles in the effort to end two days of rampant rioting that included 40 people killed, more than 1,500 injured, more than 3,700 fires and more than 3,000 arrests.

Bush addressed the nation that day, saying the violence in Los Angeles is “not about civil rights” or “the great issues of equality” but “the brutality of a mob, pure and simple.” He said he would “use whatever force necessary” to restore order.
