While we continue to monitor Elsa, the Town of Fort Myers Beach Town reminds residents to ensure their hurricane re-entry passes are accessible.

YELLOW and PURPLE passes issued in previous years are valid this 2021 hurricane season.

You can apply for a hurricane re-entry pass here: https://tinyurl.com/HurricanePass

Please also take this time while we are monitoring Elsa to get you and your family and your property prepared.
