Those who love
the beach will be more than pleased with Sanibel
Island,
Florida, a true beach-lovers paradise
brimming with lush foliage, swaying palm trees, and sunlight glistening on the
clear turquoise waters of the Gulf.
With beaches that are just a hop,
skip, and a jump from the Fort Myers Florida airport, Sanibel
Island
boasts the convenience expected from a modern resort getaway while still
offering a secluded ambiance seldom found these days.
To get a true
grasp on the island, internationally renowned for its 17 miles of shell-lined
shores, there are several worthwhile places to visit. The Sanibel-Captiva
Conservation Foundation has a myriad of walking trails which include on-going
environmental education programs while the nearby Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum,
proudly features copious shells from around the world including a myriad of
interesting information. The island also boasts 26 miles of bike trails nestled
within the stunning natural habitat.
A few other traveler favorites
include Sanibel s Historical Village which offers a glimpse into the life of the
original settlers, leisurely sunbathing on the warm white sand, sailing to an
uninhabited island on an open-air pontoon boat, or taking an Adventures in
Paradise trolley tour which visits the lighthouse, Sanibel Historical Village,
the East Gulf area, the J.N. Ding Darling 6400 acre wildlife refuge, and then
makes a u-turn after reaching Captiva.
With an average temperature of 75
degrees, Sanibel beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world with more
than 200 unique kinds of shells found in the shallow waters of the
Gulf of
Mexico.
It is this charm that will earn Sanibel
Island a
spot in your family s heart for many years to come.
