Get DISH Cable TV Programming in Fort Myers Beach, FL

If you've been thinking Fort Myers, Florida, and Fort Myers Beach, Florida, are one and the same, that's understandable. After all, they are less than 20 miles apart.

Fort Myers Beach is on Estero island, off the southwest coast of Florida, and makes ample use of its prime beach real estate. There's the Taste of the Beach in May where you can sample the signature dishes of local restaurants. The BBQ bacon-wrapped shrimp appetizer from La Ola is a favorite, and a frequent Taste of the Beach winner. Come October, everyone dresses up in motley clothing, bandannas, puffy shirts, sashes, and eye-patches for the (can you guess yet?) Fort Myers Beach Pirate Festival. It ranks up there with Tampa Bay's famed Gasparilla Festival.

Oh wait. You prefer watching pirates to dressing like them? No problem! DISH® TV's On Demand library, not to mention its sports channels, has you covered whether you want movie pirates or the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Every day of the year in Fort Myers Beach can literally be a day at the beach. Along with food, partying, and pirates, you can take advantage of any number of beach and water sports, or simply go for a walk along the beach and breathe in that fresh Gulf Coast air.
