Convenienc­e, variety, and elegance await shoppers at Coconut Point Mall

- BY HAYDEN ROME

Coconut Point is Southwest Florida’s premier open- air shopping destinatio­n and the epicenter of a five- hundred- acre master planned community. This unique, pet- friendly property offers more than 140 specialty stores and restaurant­s nestled within several acres of lakes. Coconut Point is the perfect place to gather, shop, dine, work, and play in an open, Main Street– style shopping destinatio­n, with Mediterran­ean Revival architectu­re that fits gracefully with the flavor of Southwest Florida.

Convenient­ly located near Fort Myers and Naples, Coconut Point features specialty shops that include Boston Proper, Dillard’s, Apple Store, Banana Republic, Brighton Collectibl­es, Brookstone, Clarks, Coldwater Creek, Guess, Hollister Co., J. Crew, Lucky Brand Jeans, White House/ Black Market, and West Elm. Guests can find stores here for everyone— the young family, traveling couple, or single entreprene­ur.

Dining options vary from simple snacks to full- service restaurant­s; from the elegant Ruth’s Chris Steak House and new South Fork Grille to family favorites like Ted’s Montana Grill, Bice Grand Cafe, and California Pizza Kitchen. The mall also offers casual, grab- and- go choices, such as Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Panera Bread, and Subway. Additional­ly, guests can enjoy the live outdoor entertainm­ent that plays regularly on the patio near the Lake Shops’ Pagelli’s, or make it dinner and a movie at the sixteen- screen Regal Cinemas Hollywood Theaters.

Have a craving for something sweet? Häagen- Dazs, Nestle Tollhouse, Yogurt Mountain, TCBY, Mrs. Fields Cookies, and Grace & Shelly’s Cupcakes all are available to suit any sweet tooth. Stop by refreshing, pick- me- up restaurant­s like Starbucks, Tevana, or Panera Bread if you are in need of caffeine or a quick snack.
