The Beach Theater in Ft. Myers Beach, Florida has closed and has been sold.

Located on Estero Island along Estero Boulevard, the movie theater originally opened in 1999. It closed in 2010, but reopened in 2011. The last time we received showtimes from the theater was May 18, 2022.

Gulfshore Business Magazine published an article about the closure and sale recently:

Steve Boge, who owns Signature Vacation Properties on Fort Myers Beach, just paid $19 million for the 10,000-square-foot theater at 6425 Estero Blvd and the 34-unit Gulfview Manor, which is just across the street at 6530 Estero Blvd.

The resort is operating business as usual.

“We are still a bit unsure of what our final plans will be for the building at this point,” Boge said of the theater. “We are working with an architect on a few different options, but we won’t know exactly what our final plans are until the Town of Fort Myers Beach approves it.” He envisions converting at least two of the theater screened areas into a sit-down restaurant and reopening as a one- or two-screen theater.
