Fort Myers Beach is accessed via the Matanzas Pass Bridge from San Carlos Boulevard on the mainland, or from the south via Big Carlos Pass Bridge from Bonita Springs. From I-75, take Exit 131 (Daniels Parkway) west to Summerlin Road to San Carlos Boulevard, then over the bridge to the island -- about 15 miles total from the interstate. Estero Boulevard is the main (and essentially only) road running the length of the island, and it can get very congested during peak season, especially around the Times Square area at the north end. Big rigs should be mindful of the narrow island streets and limited turning room at some campground entrances. Fuel is available on the mainland along San Carlos Boulevard before you cross to the island. For major supplies, the Fort Myers mainland has all the big-box stores and grocery chains you could need.
