✔ Cover-ups & Lightweight Beachwear for easy transitions from pool to bar

✔ Lightweight, Breathable Clothing – Think linen, cotton, and breezy fabrics
✔ Casual Evening Wear – A sundress, nice shorts, or a button-down for dinner at JWB Grill
✔ Margaritaville-Themed Attire – If you have a Parrot Head shirt or tropical print, now’s the time to wear it!
✔ Comfortable Walking Shoes – Perfect for exploring Fort Myers Beach and Times Square
✔ A Light Jacket or Sweater – Evenings can get breezy, especially near the water
 

3. Adventure & Excursion Gear
