Sanibel Island Land Before TIME

SEE + DO

anibel is all about shelling. Choose from five public beach accesses—we recommend Lighthouse Beach on the eastern end or Bowman’s Beach for a quieter to learn what makes Sanibel shelling so special. Later, check out the museum, the only one in the world devoted to shells and living mollusks. Of course, every Sanibel vacation must include a visit to J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge , so carve out a day to traverse its network of nature trails.
