Sanibel and Captiva Facts

Sanibel Island and Captiva Island retreats on the Gulf of Mexico and Intracoastal waters escort you into a parallel universe ... the plants, the water - even the air - are tranquil.

You have entered a beachcomber's heaven - an uninterrupted expanse of shell-laden beaches that has earned Sanibel-Captiva Islands a reputation for some of the best shelling in the world. There are miles of trails for biking and J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge offers spectacular birding. For water lovers there is unlimited swimming, boating and fishing.

Visiting Southwest Florida's award winning beaches, watching Gulf sunsets and paddling the mangrove shoreline offer an unrivaled, exquisite peace. But the local history is, quite literally, electrifying.
