Florida : Sanibel
Sanibel, Florida
Sanibel Islnad is pretty and lush, although recent condo and hotel construction has changed the pristine, undeveloped character it used to have. With lots of resorts, restaurants and little shops, this island is definitely upscale compared with nearby Fort Myers Beach. As you enter the island, the road gets narrower and the pace slows. You very quickly want to join the cyclists, joggers and walkers on the extensive network of bike/pedestrian lanes. Likewise, as you leave Sanibel and cross over to neighboring Captiva Island, the road narrows yet further, and you'll see another noticeable upscale shift.
Sanibel has nice white-sand beaches famous for their harvest of seashells (low tide is the best time to go). Walk along the beach for any length of time, and you'll understand what people are referring to when they mention the "Sanibel stoop." You're allowed to take only two shells per day with live creatures inside, but there's no limit on empty ones. If you have a chance, visit the Sanibel Lighthouse in Old Town Sanibel, which was built in 1884.
Most of Sanibel's mangrove swamp shoreline along San Carlos Bay is protected within the 6,350-acre J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge's varied habitat supports more than 200 avian species, including such rarities as the great white heron, bald eagle, reddish egret and roseate spoonbill. The large wading birds are most active at dawn and sunset.
