Many people who come to Fort Myers visit to enjoy the great beaches, and in this region of the state, nature lovers can easily find a spot to boat alongside dolphins and manatees.
The Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve is a wildlife-filled gem with a scenic boardwalk trail that is located in Fort Myers, but visitors who drive a little farther will find an underrated city with two national wildlife refuges — Immokalee.
Maybe you've never heard of the city of Immokalee, but this unique piece of Florida should definitely be bumped up to the top of your must-visit list.
In addition to wildlife, the city has another wild side, as it's home to the Seminole Casino Hotel, one of Florida's most famous casinos.
You can fly into Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), rent a car, and drive to Immokalee in about 45 minutes.
