Just a short drive from the mainland, across a scenic causeway, Sanibel Island is a barrier island 12 miles long and five miles wide. More than 60% of the island is protected wildlife preserve, and its beaches are havens for nesting sea turtles, migrating birds and shell seekers. Bottle-nose dolphins play offshore Sanibel's beaches. Evenings bring brilliant sunsets. Night skies are filled with bright stars.
Sanibel Island has many shopping, restaurants and attractions to explore. Spend a night at the theater, explore on the island on miles of bike paths, or visit the spectacular J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. Kayak the incredible waters of Tarpon Bay or golf to your heart’s content at one of the two island courses. Just relax and stroll along this barrier island's beaches blanketed with seashells. Spend a day on Sanibel's small sister island, Captiva.
Sanibel Island has an annual average temperature of approximately 75º, and cooler summer evenings. With its laid back atmosphere, all you need to pack are some casual clothes and a bathing suit!
