Sanibel
& Captiva Area Information - Known for having some of the world’s best
shelling beaches, Sanibel is a short drive from the Southwest Florida International
Airport, the island is connected to the mainland by a three-mile scenic causeway.
Sanibel is a sanctuary island with over 1,800 acres preserved for wildlife, just
12 miles long and 2 miles wide, with the historic light-house at one end and Blind-Pass
Bridge at the other. Whether you are coming for a few days, weeks or months there
is plenty to do and see.
Shop at the many quaint boutiques, or eat at the plethora of restaurants, visit
the J.N.Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge, the world famous Bailey Matthews Shell Museum,
learn about Sanibel history at the Historical Village, take boat to the out islands,
spend a morning at the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation, play a round of
golf, take a course at Big Arts, traverse the length of the entire island by bicycle
on the dedicated bike paths, or just lounge on our 15.5 miles of beautiful beaches
and swim in the inviting waters of the Gulf of Mexico. |

Captiva Island -
When you have exhausted all there is to do on Sanibel, visit our sister island
by driving over the short bridge at Blind Pass and meander the few short miles to
the village of Captiva, park your car and take a leisurely walk around the shops
and galleries, the beach and the bay, don't forget to visit the Chapel By The Sea
and the Gulf side cemetery.
