Headed to Estero Beach Fl in 10 days and haven't been in that area since I was 10! Couple of questions for my lovely, all knowing, pea friends:
I remember no-see-ums and don't want them to be an issue this vacation, what can I use to ward them off?!
Are there any fresh fish markets I can go to purchase fish?
Any horse back riding opportunities?
How about snorkeling? Haven't found much except off captiva, which is fine, just want a pea opinion if you've been there, done that:)
Anything else I should know/do?
It's my BFF and myself going, I'm 34 and she's 43. We went to nursing school together and then she moved out if state with her husbands job, so we try to get together and go on vacation every 2 years. Thanks for any advise!!!

I don't know enough specifics about the area...when I go, it is to the beach only. But take some mosquito spray, or plan on buying it. It has been a wet year and those bastards are awful this year. I wouldn't worry so much about the no see 'ems they aren't usually so bad. Have fun though! And make sure you bring a LOT of sunscreen.

We were at Fort Myers Beach on July 4th weekend. No bugs bothered us. The kids were sort of creeped out by the live sand dollars all over the ocean floor. We were walking on sand dollars once we got about knee deep on out. There were some sea slugs swimming around too. They squirt ink like a squid.
We've never experienced either on previous trips so may be something that comes and goes. We should have brought snorkel gear.
Have fun!

I got chewed up so badly by whatever bugs they had that I actually have some scarring from it. I would not go outside in the evening/at night without bug spray. Lots of bug spray.
