Maggi Smit • Jan 03, 2018

Find your Island…Discover the Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel

Located in Southwest Florida and made up of over 100 barrier islands along the Gulf of Mexico and renowned for being a family friendly, laid back, barefoot destination, The Beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel are the perfect spot for your dream family getaway!


Enjoy the white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and 27 degrees Celsius of perpetual sunshine, whilst spending your days seaching for sea shells or dolphin spotting, building sandcastles or enjoying the warm gulf waters with the kids. The best way to explore all of Fort Myers and Sanibel is to jump in a kayak or boat and Island hop until you find the Island that best suits you.


Get close to the natural side of Florida and spot the pink Roseate Spoonbill and more than 300 kinds of birds in the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, the largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystem in the U.S. or watch dolphins play in the wake of your boat, or glide beneath the shade of mangroves while on a guided kayak tour of the Great Calusa Blueway.


Art galleries of every colour and variety burst from the seams on Matlacha and Pine Island. The Boca Grande and Sanibel lighthouses are inspirational to visit and the brilliant minds of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford enjoyed their visits so much they put down roots here. Their historic estates are filled with tropical gardens, workshops and museums which encourage creativity in every heart and prove the only limit on success is one’s imagination.


When you are tired from a long day at the beach, hit the shops and pick up some bargains at the outlet malls before spending the evening enjoying delicious seafood at one of the many restaurants on offer.


Each community holds its own personality - take in the music and nightlife of Fort Myers Beach, or find bohemian beachside craft stores on Sanibel Island and jaw dropping sunsets on Captiva Island. Each island offers a healthy dose of peace and quiet, fascinating wildlife and beach life. The Beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel are perfect for a relaxing beach holiday or as part of a fly-drive along the Florida coast. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel connected to the people and unspoiled nature around you.
