Sanibel is a city in southwest Florida located on Sanibel Island in the Gulf of Mexico and just a short drive from Fort Myers. Sanibel’s beaches are famous for their pristine sands and abundance of shells that wash ashore from the Gulf of Mexico due to the island’s east-west orientation. Shelling is by far the most popular activity on Sanibel – you can’t walk a step on the beach without encountering the so-called “Sanibel Stoop” to look for shells. Enjoy a day of fishing, boating, and pure relaxation, this is a chance to get away from it all and a chance to reconnect with nature. Lighthouse Beach features a fishing pier, the 19th-century Sanibel Lighthouse, and a boardwalk that winds through marshes. The Causeway Beaches are a popular spot for water sports and have picnic in its picnic areas. The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge takes up roughly half of the island.
