Learn more about Sanibel
Hunting for exotic seashells becomes an obsession on this barrier island, where the 'Sanibel Stoop' describes how locals bend to examine beach treasures. The J.N. 'Ding' Darling Wildlife Refuge offers a drive-through safari where alligators and roseate spoonbills pose obligingly for photos. Rent a bike to explore 25 miles of paths that wind past mangroves and through neighborhoods where mailboxes are shaped like manatees and pelicans. The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum displays specimens that make your beach finds seem suddenly inadequate. The historic lighthouse stands sentinel at the island's tip, while Bowman's Beach offers the perfect sunset spot. After Hurricane Ian, the island has rebounded with the stubborn resilience that characterizes all barrier island communities.
