News: Discover the Heart of Fort Myers Beach
Salty Sam’s Marina is where island energy meets waterfront adventure.
If you’re dreaming of the true Fort Myers Beach experience, there’s one destination that captures it all: Salty Sam’s Marina. Tucked along the tranquil back bay just before the Matanzas Pass Bridge, Salty Sam’s is more than a marina. It’s a vibrant waterfront village that embodies everything people love about beach life, boating culture, and tropical Florida charm.
Whether you arrive by land or water, Salty Sam’s welcomes you with endless ways to escape, explore, and enjoy. Start with two of the most loved waterfront restaurants on the island: Parrot Key Caribbean Grill, a long-time local favorite known for fresh seafood, tropical flavors, and live music; and Marina Cantina Tin Tiki, a rustic dockside tiki bar offering stunning bay views, old-school Fort Myers Beach vibes, and the perfect place to unwind with friends, family, or a cold drink after a day on the water.
Stroll through the marina village and you’ll find two unique retail shops packed with everything from coastal apparel and souvenirs to beach essentials. Stay for the entertainment, as Salty Sam’s hosts live music, special events, seasonal celebrations, and some of the island’s most memorable gatherings.
For those who love boating, adventure truly begins here. Salty Sam’s offers full-service wet and dry boat storage, plus a fleet of rental boats for exploring the surrounding beaches and islands at your own pace. Prefer to let someone else take the helm? Choose from dolphin and eco cruises, sunset tours, or climb aboard the famous Pieces of Eight Pirate Cruise, one of Fort Myers Beach’s most beloved family attractions. Charter fishing boats are also available for anglers seeking world-class Gulf waters.
Whether you’re here for dining, dancing, exploring, or simply soaking in the waterfront views, Salty Sam’s Marina is a must-visit destination — an essential part of any Fort Myers Beach getaway.
