A Nature EscapeSanibel Island Accommodations

If you have the chance to visit Southwest Florida, two of the most natural and beautiful places in the area are Sanibel Island and Captiva Island. The main reason a lot of people visit there is for the Shelling.


A virtual haven for shell collectors, Sanibel is the cream of the crop. Conches, cockles, cones to spirals and scallops millions of them to choose from. The other fantastic feature of Sanibel beach is that there is no pollution on the beach. It has white sand for miles and as clean as if it was just put there.


As far as hotels go there are multitudes to choose from and most of them right on the beach. A wonderful place to stay if you’re a shell collector is Shalimar Cottages & Motel. Shalimar has 300 feet of private beach to roam and discover.


Sanibel Island HotelsAnother gorgeous resort is Casa Ybel. The word sanctuary comes to mind with a touch of serenity. It is close to Fort Myers and Southwest Florida International Airport. Casa Ybel also sits right on the beachfront and all the beaches there have been kept natural as well. The stay there is amazing if not only for the sunsets.


With all most 70% of Sanibel Island sanctioned as island preserves. The quality of this magnanimously blessed area is hard to take in. Surely one of the best experiences you’ll ever be a part of. Then there is the wildlife that is visible on the island. Animals like the cormorants, ibises, ospreys, pelicans, sanderlings. Bird watchers will rejoice.


Some of the natural sites to see include: Ding Darling wildlife refuge, Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, Sanibel Island Lighthouse, Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation. There is theatre, art and music there including fishing and boating. Whether your there on a romantic getaway or bringing your family on a special vacation Sandibel Island has it all.
