Experience the best of Sanibel — from shelling and kayaking to sunsets and starlit dinners on the lanai.
Sanibel Island is world-renowned for its pristine beaches, pastel-colored seashells, and the signature “Sanibel Stoop” — that happy bend toward the sand as visitors search for treasures along the shore. This barrier-island paradise offers an easygoing blend of natural beauty and coastal charm, where breathtaking sunsets, playful dolphins, and shell-dotted beaches set the scene for a truly unforgettable getaway.
At just 15 miles long and five miles wide, Sanibel’s small size belies its rich character. Explore more than 25 miles of scenic bike paths that weave through lush tropical landscapes and charming island neighborhoods. Golf enthusiasts can test their skills on picturesque courses, while anglers will find world-class fishing and boating in the surrounding Gulf waters. For an even closer look at nature, venture into the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, where over 6,000 acres of mangrove wetlands shelter manatees, alligators, subtropical and migrant birds, and other wildlife. Whether by bike, kayak, or guided tram, it’s an adventure the whole family will love.
Sanibel also delights with its one-of-a-kind shopping and dining scene. Browse local boutiques and art galleries for island-inspired finds, then indulge in fresh seafood and Floribian flavors at restaurants ranging from barefoot-casual to elegant fine dining. Every experience here is infused with the easy rhythm of island life and the warm hospitality Sanibel is known for.
