Have you ever...
dreamed of being on a tropical island,
your toes in the soft white sand,
an expansive beach,
swaying coconut palms,
lush tropical foliage,
beautiful crystal blue water, and
imagined watching the pelicans
and herons fish for their dinner?
Sanibel is one of the barrier islands located off the southwest coast of Florida by Fort Myers.
Its approximately a forty-five minute ride from the Southwest Florida International Airport.
The average temperature is 75 degrees. It is about 12 miles long and 4 miles wide.
Its shelling beaches are known world-wide. The island’s north south orientation results in a beach full of shells. Stroll the beaches and find your special shell!
