Sanibel Island & Captiva Islands

"Nature's Gift to Southwest Florida"

Sanibel and Captiva Islands lie four miles off the coast of Southwest Florida near Fort Myers. It is truly a vacationer's paradise - 12,000 acres of lush, tropical vegetation bordered by 22 miles of white, sandy gulf beaches and the protected waters of San Carlos Bay.

The islands are known as one of the finest shelling areas in the world and the surrounding waters offer some of the best fishing in Southwest Florida. Over one-third of Sanibel is a wildlife sanctuary, teeming with native and migratory birds.

For the outdoors enthusiast, there are four golf courses, miles of nature trails, a complete network of bike paths and several fully equipped marinas. The shops of Sanibel and Captiva offer unique gifts, fashions, arts and crafts.

Enjoy the restaurants, where you will find everything from burgers to fresh, locally caught seafood, to French and Italian gourmet cuisine. The atmosphere is always casual in a true "island style."
