A new property is set to open on Fort Myers Beach, with Margaritaville Beach Resort accepting reservations for stays starting Dec. 21.

The opening marks another comeback milestone for Fort Myers Beach, which was hit hard by Hurricane Ian in 2022. The project was delayed for several months due to the storm that smashed into Southwest Florida on Sept. 22, 2023.

At 251 Crescent St., the resort sits on 7.25 acres along Fort Myers Beach, with direct beach access and views of the Gulf of Mexico, according to a statement. The property also features 254 guest rooms, six restaurants and the beachside Fins Up Beach Club.
