The Cottage is cool, a favorite spot for locals year-round. As part of the more civilized and recently remodeled Gulfshore Grill, the Cottage is a casual, outdoor beach bar with an unobstructed view of the water. People come by car, by boat and on foot to party here. You'll find live music at The Cottage just about every night. Sometimes the acts are solo and more mellow, other times full bands set up and rock the deck. At times you can also hear the music coming from the neighboring Lani Kai Resort, a Spring Break magnet. It's fun to watch the madness from the safety of the Cottage deck, but also easy to walk next door and join the raucous celebration.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Fort Myers Local Expert
- Best Nightlife: "Be wary of the "no parking" signs when looking for a spot here, beach towing is aggressive. Opt for the valet."
- Bars: "Be wary of the "no parking" signs when looking for a spot here, beach towing is aggressive. Take advantage of the valet"
- Live Music: "Be wary of the "no parking" signs when looking for a spot here, beach towing is aggressive. Opt for the free valet"
- Beach Bars: "Take advantage of the free valet parking as the spots are extremely limited."
- Best Nightlife of Fort Myers Beach: "Take advantage of the free valet as parking is limited"
- Recommended as Best Nightlife Because: One of the most consistently popular party spots on the beach, no matter what time of year, for location, entertainment and the beach views.
- Best for Bars Because: It's not just the cold drinks, casual good food, and live music that keep people coming but also the real estate on the Gulf of Mexico.
- Best for Live Music Because: This cozy casual bar is in the heart of Fort Myers Beach, offering live music nightly; the dance floor is almost always full.
- Best for Beach Bars Because: The cottage is perhaps the best-known place on the beach for quality entertainment, cold cocktails, hot food and big fun.
- Recommended as Best Nightlife of Fort Myers Beach Because: The crowd is always fun here, the food served late, the music is good and so is the view of the beach.
