Breaking waves and the distant sounds of seagulls are your wake-up calls in this island paradise. Join shell collectors at dawn to discover the overnight deposits left by the sea, then let your cares melt away beneath the shimmering sun along pristine white sand beaches.


Spend your day playing in the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico or take a break from the beach with a game of tennis or a dip in the pool. Rent a bike from the resort to explore the island or ride into town for an afternoon of shopping and dining at outdoor cafes. When you return, you can relax in the hot tub then grill some fresh Florida snapper or grouper for the whole family.


At the end of the day, take a front row seat on the beach to view one of Sanibel Island’s most prized attractions – the magnificent, world-famous sunsets.
