One of the first questions New Yorkers ask before moving to Estero is, “Where do I shop, and where do I eat?” You will trade corner bodegas and neighborhood delis for shopping centers and a short drive, but Estero has two of Southwest Florida’s biggest shopping destinations inside the village, plus a growing restaurant scene. Here is what to expect.

Stores include Dillard’s, Nordstrom Rack, Barnes & Noble, SuperTarget and an Apple Store, along with specialty shops like Tommy Bahama and PGA Tour Superstore.

Dining at Coconut Point includes The Cheesecake Factory, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, The Real Seafood Company, Divieto Ristorante, Rodizio Grill, Ted’s Montana Grill and California Pizza Kitchen. It is walkable once you park, which is the closest thing to a New York-style evening stroll in Estero. See our full Coconut Point Mall guide.
