Check out What's Up What's Up FMB, they are bringing some amazing events to the island!

🌴✨ What a day on Fort Myers Beach yesterday… ✨🌊

We felt it… did you? 💛

From beach wellness sessions to an incredible Wellness Market, the energy was something really special. The island showed up, supported local, and embraced a whole new side of what our community can be 🌿

This is exactly what Glow by the Gulf was all about—connection, movement, and bringing something fresh to the beach.

Now we want to hear from YOU 👇

💭 What did you love?
💭 What would you like to see more of next year?
💭 What should we add, change, or grow?

👉 Would you be interested in regular beach wellness sessions?
👉 Do you live in a community with beach access + parking and want to bring something like this to your area?

If so—reach out. Let’s build it together.

We’re already thinking about what this could become… and your input helps shape it.

Thank you to everyone who came out, participated, and supported this vision. This is just the beginning ✨
