Sanibel Island

This secluded Fort Myers offshoot is thought to be even more low-key, quiet, and quaint than its Gulf Coast neighbor, which is saying a lot. On Sanibel Island, casual is the order of the day; a shabby chic vibe pervades the Periwinkle Way galleries, restaurants, and shops; and seashells cover every sandy and linoleum surface. In fact, the abundance of seashells has become this island's (and Captiva's) claim to fame. On any long stretch of sand, you'll see plenty of beachcombers doing the "Sanibel Stoop" – what locals call shelling. If the mood strikes you, plan on joining them for at least one afternoon of your stay. Sanibel's laid-back residents wouldn't have it any other way.
