FORT MYERS BEACH, FLORIDA

Seawall Repair Fort Myers Beach

Seawall repair in Fort Myers Beach depends on the water: no new or expanded seawalls on natural waterbodies, and Gulf of Mexico walls may be maintained but not rebuilt (Town Code Sec. 26-77).

Licensed Permits handled Florida waterfront

We connect Town owners on Estero Bay, Matanzas Pass and the canals with licensed marine contractors who know the rules.

Free inspection, a written scope, no obligation.

Canal walls

Replacing a cap or repairing seams needs a swale or linear drain behind the wall. Replacing more than 25% of the slabs requires shallow-water habitat along the whole wall (Sec. 26-75).

Why it matters

Ian on Estero Island

Ian brought 10 to 15 feet of water above ground on Fort Myers Beach, and a USGS sensor read 12.70 feet above mean higher high water (National Hurricane Center).
