Beached Whale

It's downright impossible to miss the turn for this time-tested establishment on Fort Myers Beach with signage that boasts a pink-skinned beachcomber, frothy ale held aloof, sitting atop a purple whale. Such good-natured quirkiness is what has so endeared this bastion of barbecue and seafood to regulars over the years. The live entertainment here spans every night of the week both up and downstairs, featuring the most popular local and regional bands. The rooftop, Lookout Lounge also provides great views of the beach and the sunset. This establishment also has parking, a plus for any party place found on the beach.
