Sanibel beaches consistently win prizes for the quality and abundance of their seashells. The island ranks among the top Florida beaches for families and among the best beaches in the world for shelling.
Kept in a mostly natural state with only basic facilities, Sanibel beaches present an environmental opportunity to explore shore life – including sea turtle nests in summer -- and observe the resident and migratory birds that make Sanibel a top birding destination.
