Coconut Point

This open-air, Main Street-style mall just south of Fort Myers in Estero, is the center of a 500-acre master-planned community, giving it a unique and relaxed atmosphere. It is especially festive around the holidays. Surrounded by glistening lakes and fountains, shoppers stroll the lovely boardwalk, collecting goodies from 113 stores along the way. One side is lined with so-called box stores such as Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, World Market and Ulta. The other side is full of more high-end boutiques such as Chanel, Pandora, Lucky Brand and Apple, along with a few locally owned establishments. After browsing your favorites, dine at one of the 25 unique restaurants.
