GULF COAST TOWN CENTER Alico Road & Ben Hill Griffin Parkway | Fort Myers

PERIWINKLE PLACE Periwinkle Way | Sanibel | PeriwinklePlace.com Approximately 373 Steps Located on Sanibel Island, Periwinkle Place — with only 26 stores — may be the smallest mall of our unofficial guide, but it’s been named by the Lee County Visitor and Convention Bureau not only Sanibel’s top shopping destination, but one of the entire county’s top tourism attractions. Known for its peaceful and beautiful display of fountains, as well as diverse offerings of both boutique and brand retailers, Periwinkle Place holds the distinction of being home to the very first Chico’s — with another 1,546 across the United States and Canada to have followed. TANGER OUTLETS Summerlin & McGregor Boulevard | Fort Myers TangerOutlet.com/FortMyers Approximately 1,024 Steps Tanger Outlets, just a few miles east of Sanibel, is a smaller mall with a variety of name brand retailers in accessories, adult and children’s apparel, footwear, housewares and specialty stores. The mall offers a pleasant (and covered) boardwalk that allows you easy navigation to more than 90% of the stores. Brands and bargains to be found include Calvin Klein, Jones New York, Brooks Brothers, Banana Republic, Tommy Hilfiger, Reebok, Nike and Under Armour. Shop here and you’ll likely save enough for the $6 toll to fit a trip to Sanibel into your day.

Chang’s and more. And a great place for a movie at the 16-screeen (including IMAX) Regal Cinemas. MIROMAR OUTLETS Corkscrew Road & Ben Hill Griffin Parkway | Estero MiromarOutlets.com Approximately 2,816 Steps If you’re an outlet mall lover, you’ll be head over heels at Miromar Outlets.
