Frequently asked questions
What time is sunset in Fort Myers?
Sunset in Fort Myers ranges from about 5:35pm in early December to about 8:20pm in late June, all times Eastern. Because Fort Myers sits at the western edge of the Eastern time zone, sunsets here run roughly 25 minutes later than on Florida's Atlantic coast.

Captiva Island has the widest unobstructed western horizon and is widely considered the best sunset spot in Lee County. Fort Myers Beach pier and Bowman's Beach on Sanibel are the strongest alternatives.
