Guests must pay a daily resort fee

Built in 1950, Pink Shell Beach Resort & Marina woos guests with its unobstructed ocean views, complimentary beach amenities and friendly staff. But the star attraction of this property is its location: Spread across 12 acres in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, the resort boasts 1,500 feet of pristine white sand beach, with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and Matanzas Pass on the other. Plus, the resort sits less than a mile from Fort Myers Beach's Times Square shopping hub. For those looking to take advantage of Florida's year-round sunshine, Pink Shell offers a variety of on-site amenities, including three heated pools and a marina. When you're seeking cover from Florida's intense rays, head inside and indulge in a warm stone massage or a sugar scrub from the Aquagene Spa. A meal at one of the property's two restaurants is also a must. Once you're ready for a little R&R, retreat to one of the resort's 205 accommodations. Each room and villa features a flat-screen TV, a coffee maker, a kitchenette or kitchen and an enclosed lanai. Note: Pink Shell charges a $49 daily resort fee that covers in-room Wi-Fi access, kayak and paddleboard rentals, valet parking and breakfast every day.
