Sanibel Island, Florida, is a beautiful island off the Gulf coast of Florida. It is famously known as the shell capitol of the world, and it lives up to this premonition. From the beachfront, you can easily see the sun rise in the morning and set in the evening. It rains promptly at 5:30 every day. It takes a good chunk of cash to visit this lovely location, but the investment you put in will not be without return.
Along with the beautiful sand, the plethora of shells, and the island's eatery, there are many opportunities to relax and unwind such as spa's and other beach vacation amenities such as biking, tennis, and badminton. There are also island shops and book stores for souvenirs and beach essentials. The sand of Sanibel is stellar sand castle material.
My family has had four great vacations on Sanibel Island, and I would give it a 9/10 due to the price of the relaxation. It is a happy place.

Wow, that is so cool, Carli: the picture is totally attention-getting (I love seashells!), and I had no idea that there was an island that could claim to be the shell capitol of the world. That sounds like so much fun! I may have to add this to my beach bucket list... for after I win the lottery, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI love Florida but I can't say that I have ever been to this part of it. I might just have to add that to my list of places to check out; it sounds like such a dreamy place. I am a huge fan of beaches and have been to many on cruises and such, but I would love to check out some stateside as opposed to the Caribbean!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a lovely vacation destination if one wants the beach but not looking for having to leave the states. I have never heard of this place before, but I also don't get out all that much either haha. I have never been to Florida and has been almost over ten years since I have been to a real beach but I am hoping to change that this coming spring. Maybe I'll have to take a better look at Sanibel Island!
