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
10/10 Excellent
"First time at CY and could not be happier with our stay. First time on the island too. Room was perfect for me and my two daughters. Really liked the vaulted ceilings as I was surprised by this. We stayed on the 2nd floor for the view (we didn’t mind walking the extra steps). We were in room 118 and it was a little walk to the pool, but the grounds are gorgeous as we didn’t mind the walk. Pool was big and water warm! Ocean was equally as warm. Shells for days. Caught some lizards and a crab! Staff was excellent and courteous. Come prepared with bug spray. We used Captiva Cruises for our private fishing, snorkeling, shelling, and dolphin viewing. Caught tons of fish! Grilled snapper and trout for dinner. We will be returning annually!"
