The Six Best Reasons To Visit Our Island:

Beach combingSanibel Hospitality – Oh who are we kidding? You're coming for the beach... But isn't it nice to know you're welcome on Sanibel Island, our friendly Tropical Southern Place with classic southern hospitality, compact shopping districts, lodging, shell museums, beach activities, GREAT, FUN restaurants and evening entertainment. Shops, restaurants, hotels and service facilities on Sanibel are staffed with locals who know that you are here to relax and enjoy your vacation. Well.... and to spend time basking in the sun or to look for unusual and unique shells on one of our beaches before watching one of the great colorful sunsets. Sanibel has all the elements of a wonderful romantic or family vacation (not mutually exclusive here). There's so much for the kids to do (the beach, pools, tennis, golf, .. you'll find plenty of time to be with your spouse. And if you are visiting as a couple, there are plenty of places to be alone with your special someone.


Sanibel More ShellsSanibel ShellsSanibel Shelling -- There are over 200 varieties of shell to be found on our beaches. The small and miniature seashells tend to be more towards the lighthouse (East) end of the island, while the larger ones are towards Captiva (West) end. And Our Secret to finding the best Shells on Sanibel: At low tide make sure to check out the sandbar. During a new or full moon there is sometimes a second sandbar further out. It is worth wading out to this second bar. Don't let the tide go out while shelling, you don't want to have to swim back! It is best to go shelling around a low tide. With a low tide, more of the beach is exposed so you are able cover more beach. As the tide recedes it leaves washes of materials at different levels. Shell each of these wash lines for the best results.

Pool and Beach View Sanibel Island Every Accommodation on Sanibel is like new and has been renovated within the last year. Top end luxury at the soon to open South Seas Plantation on Captiva and Sanibel Harbour Resort (not on the Island, but wow what a place) and great family hotels like the Holiday Inn Sanibel and Sanibel Sundial Beach Resort both on the beach and within walking distance (or a short ride) to restaurants, nightclubs and the focal point of Sanibel nightlife - The Dairy Queen. In Addition, there is an abundance of Great restaurants with food at reasonable prices. Consider Tween Waters Inn for a Great Couples or Family Getaway.

 


GolfThere's always something fun to do on Sanibel Island. Most activities center around the beach. That's where most evening start, watching the incredible sunsets hoping to see the green flash. There are unique shops, shell museums, restaurants, wildlife preserves, tennis courts, and many more opportunities for fun and exploration on the island. AND in nearby Ft Myers there are nightclubs, martini lounges, pubs, and music venues. Sanibel, though, has the Dairy Queen, The Schoolhouse Theater, The Mucky Duck, (Ok this is really on Captiva, BUT you have to drive Sanibel to get there) and the Ellington's Jazz Bar.


Thistle Lodge Dining Room Sanibel Dining
Sanibel has a great variety of restaurants. You'll find menus offering great steaks, fresh seafood, there's nowhere in the world that you will find fresher. Restaurants are casual but compete in service and food with those in the US top 3 cities. Consider the Thistle Lodge Restaurant at Casa Ybel Resort for something formal perhaps Sunday Brunch. Or RedFish BluFish - 751 Tarpon Bay Road for great seafood. Or Ellington's Jazz Bar & Restaurant 937 East Gulf Drive for entertainment. Or The Hungry Heron Fish Fry on Fridays. There are so many choices, you will want to stay for weeks just to try them all.
