Fort Myers to Sanibel Island

The beautiful Fort Myers area is the perfect place to take a break from commercial Florida and get back to nature. You should be sure to take a trip west, over the causeway, and explore Sanibel Island in One Day. The focus on Sanibel Island is wilderness and wildlife. Development has been limited since the 1970’s allowing nature to thrive. The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge is the largest wildlife refuge on the island. Here you’ll discover wetlands and mangroves, ideal for bird-watching.

Sanibel Island is the perfect place to park the car and get active. Recreation options are plentiful. Biking around Sanibel is easy with dedicated bike lanes and multi-use paths as well. It’s easy to cover many sites on the island just by pedaling. Fishing and kayaking also let you enjoy the natural beauty of Sanibel up close. Sanibel has many beaches to relax on. But there’s more here.

Sanibel is famous for Shelling. You can join in the fun and search for unique colors and shapes of shells that are constantly deposited on the sand. Tourists also can take the family and visit the Shell Museum and the Sanibel Historical Museum and Village. Finally, you can end your day trip to Sanibel with a stunning sunset at Bowman’s Beach. All in all, this is one of the best day trips in Florida.
