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.

Shalimar Beach Resort

"The property was beautifully maintained. Note you have to ask for fresh towels or room service but rooms had everything you needed. Quiet location. Can hardly wait to come back!"
Sanibel Island Beach Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Everyone was polite, helpful, and very courteous! Never had any issues and enjoyed our stay! Definitely recommend for those looking to get away and just relax!"
Casa Ybel Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Loved that all units are gulf facing. Loved the screened in balconies. Liked that we could rent beach chairs and umbrellas. Wished bikes and a gym were available on property. My husband loved everything about this place except for the shower head which did not produce much water flow."
Sundial Beach Resort & Spa
