Enjoying Sanibel

There are more than enough reasons to love Fort Myers and Sanibel Island: great weather (the Gulf water averages 76 degrees, almost never dipping below 60 even in the wintertime), delicious food (it’s rumored that Jimmy Buffett wrote “Cheeseburger in Paradise” after dining at an area restaurant), fantastic outdoor sports.

Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge

Sanibel Island and the surrounding southwest Florida area offers plenty of things to do for families, couples, groups, and more. Whether you're looking to unwind on Sanibel beaches or you're excited to explore the wildlife of this region, use our guide to help you plan your vacation. 

The immaculate waters surrounding the Islands and Fort Myers beach provide outstanding opportunities for fishermen of all skill levels. Whether offshore, inshore, back bay, pier, beach or wade sea fishing, fish can be found here year ‘round.

Entertainment is easy to come by on these islands. Both Sanibel and Captiva have plenty of nightlife options to chose from!
