Sanibel Island has it all. Warm pearly white sand beaches, soft gentle breezes, crystal clear blue waters.  Any activity you desire or you can just laze the day away and read that book you have wanting to read or tan in the sun. Stroll along the beach at sunset and watch the most colorful breathtaking sunset.  How great it is to be alive and on romantic Sanibel Island, Florida. 

Sanibel Island is unique in that it lies geographically east and west opposed to most islands that lie north and south.  This direction allows abundant seashells to be washed up and along its white sand beaches.  Sanibel Island is known worldwide for its colorful “treasures from the sea”.  Young and old enjoy the fun of collecting seashells.

To keep Sanibel Island beaches pristine a few rules are:
1.    Pets must be leashed and cleaned up after.
2.    No open fires.
3.    Fee of $2.00 an hour for parking vehicles on public beaches.
