Ft. Myers Beach is quite a distance from Ft. Myers, and the beach is along a 12 mile long, 1/4 mile to maybe 1/2 mile wide strip of land from Ft. Myers Beach to Bonita Beach over the barrier islands. There is only one bridge on the north end and one on the south end on and off the islands. So there is no way on or off the islands for criminals other than the two bridges or by boat. I am sure that Ft. Myers Beach and Bonita Beach have crimes, but nothing to keep me away. Just watch your surroundings.

mofarmboy, I don't know the ages of your grandchildren, but FMB is a family destination, with lots of resturants, tourist shops, motels on the beach, something for everyone. There is a sloooow trolley than runs from Bonita K-mart to Ft. Myers and back. That is even fun maybe once.
