WHAT TO DO
Maybe you want a day at one of the beautiful white sand beaches to swim or sun or do some of that world famous Sanibel shelling. Play a round at one of three golf courses. Use the tennis courts, bicycle paths and the rec center for your physical workout. Boating and fishing is an island staple. There are restaurants that can satisfy any taste and shops that can offer anything from hardware to high fashion. On the quieter side there are three theatres – one movie theatre and two stage theatres, art displays at BigArts, live music, our renowned library and two museums. The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum and the Historic Village and Museum. The shell museum has more shells that the Smithsonian and lots of educational material to make the visit fun and worthwhile. The Historic Village and Museum gives a view of island life in the very early days when Sanibel was a farming community, before the islands evolved into the wonderful vacation treasure it is today. It is, today, a beautiful sanctuary island that has found a way to balance the needs of the people with the needs of the islands wildlife. That concept is so compelling that it has created an island culture that captivates all who experience it. It is highlighted by the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge and the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation. They occupy over half of the island’s land mass and offer a variety of ways for you to enjoy their beauty, observe wildlife in their natural habitat and learn from their displays and tours and live the wonderful island experience.
