Cleared for a visual approach RSW Runway 06 about 10 miles out on a right base. Handed off to RSW Tower and cleared to land. As we approached the outer marker I saw a TCAS target in close proximity at our 10 o'clock position. The target tuned amber and we got an RA to climb. I disconnected the autopilot and started to climb and saw the traffic very close. We continued the approach and landed. No traffic call was issued by RSW Tower. I called Approach Control on the ground and called the Tower Supervisor. VFR aircraft from Page should have instruction to follow the shoreline.
