Along Secluded Shorelines Lies the Nation’s #1 Spot for Retirement

Southwest Florida is a bona fide haven far removed from wintertime worries, as even when the rest of the nation is blanketed by snow and biting cold, the beautiful beaches of Fort Myers and the surrounding areas are warm and welcoming. No wonder Fort Myers has recently been named the nation’s “Best Place to Retire,” according to U.S. News and World Report..

The Forum area itself has been carefully developed to offer outstanding convenience and natural beauty. And with plenty of shopping, dining and hotel options, it’s a fine place for residents and visitors alike. Whether opting for the daytime bustle, dining and nightlife in the Downtown River District, taking in the active—and largely underrated—arts and culture scene, or enjoying plentiful sports and recreation, including Red Sox and Twins Spring Training games, it’s all just minutes from The Forum.

And who could forget about the beaches? Practically too numerous to count, the many options allow beach lovers endless opportunities to explore and find their favorite. Sanibel Island is widely recognized as the best shelling spot in all of North America, and for beauty and seclusion from noise and big crowds, nothing beats the beaches of Captiva.

Fort Myers does really have something for everyone… Discovery Village will enable you or your loved one to live an active and satisfying lifestyle, taking advantage of everything that this lovely location has to offer, with complimentary transportation, a busy social calendar, and lots of bus trips and excursions to local events and sights.
