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.

Casa Ybel Resort
"The room was really nice and clean. The pool was a good size and there was nar service at the pool. Not sure why, but our room had the fire detectors missing. The staff at the check in desk were not very helpful and were crabby at times. Great access to the beach. Could purchase chairs with an umbrella at the beach but sometimes they were put out around 10 am."
Sanibel Inn
"Nothing we didn't like. Room was clean and well maintained. Bathroom and kitchenette were both very nice. A 2-3 minute walk from our room to our lounge chairs on the beach. Beautiful water and sand. Pool also very nice even though it was pretty warm most days. But that's to be expected in August in Florida. Poolside tiki bar had cool bartenders and a nice happy hour. Highly recommend."
