The Fort Myers area is served by the Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), which offers flights to and from several US cities, Canada and Europe. The airport is a mere 30-minute drive from Fort Myers Beach. Alternatively, Miami International Airport (MIA) and Tampa International Airport (TPA) are ideal for international arrivals – while a bit further away, you can then enjoy the stunning scenery on the drive to your desired base.
