There are 15 miles of beachfront to enjoy that is located right on the Gulf of Mexico where the water is warm and the beaches are very clean. With 250 different types of seashells, 230 different kinds of birds, 22 miles of bike paths and no traffic lights this place is paradise as far as I’m concerned. I know anyone that loves the beach will love Sanibel Island.
The island has been listed on Frommer’s “Top Ten World Destinations” and that doesn’t surprise me a bit. It is so beautiful there. Captiva Island is right beside Sanibel and also worth spending time exploring. We spend a lot of time on each!
