Learn more about Sanibel
Hunting for exotic seashells becomes an obsession on this barrier island, where the 'Sanibel Stoop' describes how locals bend to examine beach treasures. The J.N. 'Ding' Darling Wildlife Refuge offers a drive-through safari where alligators and roseate spoonbills pose obligingly for photos. Rent a bike to explore 25 miles of paths that wind past mangroves and through areas where postboxes are shaped like manatees and pelicans. The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum displays specimens that make your beach finds seem suddenly inadequate. The historic lighthouse stands sentinel at the island's tip, while Bowman's Beach offers the perfect sunset spot. After Hurricane Ian, the island has rebounded with the stubborn resilience that characterises all barrier island communities.

Sanibel Island Beach Resort
"The property was really nice the staff was good . The only suggestion I have would be to do something about the stuffy and smell in the hallway to the rooms. The other suggestion would be calibrate the ac and thermostat the room was either to hot or to cold there was no median temperature."
Shalimar Beach Resort
"This resort is only a year old due to hurricane Ian. This is a beautiful location and the beach is so fun. The pool area was wonderful and the pool towels were big! My sister and I enjoyed our stay and we will be back to visit!"
The Anchor Inn
"We had an amazing weekend getaway in Sanibel! The Anchor Inn was super clean, charming, and incredibly relaxing. Everything was just perfect for a peaceful escape, and the quick, responsive service made our stay even better. We absolutely loved our time here and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!"
Casa Ybel Resort
"The property is super convenient the beaches across the street a volleyball pool and then a huge lighted pool. The rooms were very clean older but clean and very comfortable. Mine felt like a little apartment tiki bar downstairs is great. The food is good. The drinks were good. They do play music until about midnight so if you don’t like music till that time, this isn’t the place for you lol. We will definitely stay here again."
