Fort Myers Beach Christmas Boat Parade

By Daniel Eaton

Christmas is a great time of year, especially in Fort Myers Beach, where Santa comes to town on a Coast Guard Patrol Boat with lights ands sirens. (Yes that is Uncle Dan!) There is no shortage of fun, food and faire.

You will need to make a point to visit Fort Myers Beach for the 23rd Annual Christmas Boat Parade. There are however some special places to view the parade. This year will also feature the "People's Choice Award" where you will be able to vote for your favorite decorated boat and enjoy dinner.

This year's parade starts from the mooring field in front of Salty Sam's Marina. There are great places to see the parade. Check out the the website at ft-myers-beach-boat-parade.com for all the details.

Organized and promoted by the Greater Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce, this event is must see on December 3rd. Contact the Chamber office at 239.454.7500 for special hotel rates and the best places to view the Fort Myers Beach Boat Parade.
