| | Q. | We are planning a wedding on the beach at Ft. Myers in April 2007. My question is- are fireworks allowed on the beach? Is a permit necessary? Thank you, Joanna Cash | | A. | It will be a wonderful place for a wedding...next April. I don't want to dampen your spirits any, but fireworks or "fires" of any kind are not permitted on Estero Island's public beaches nor in any of its city-controlled parks or public spaces. You may be able to work out an option with a private property owner that is acceptable to the city. Contact Nichole at Fort Myers Beach City Hall for more information (239.765.0202). Our best Florida congratulations to the couple-to-be.
