Fl Beach Resort Islands: The beaches of Sanibel & Captiva
The Fl Beach resort islands of SANIBEL, CAPTIVA, GASPARILLA AND CAYO COSTA are located in Lee County, which is home to Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach and Bonita Springs. Lee County is the most populous county in Southwest Florida, but when you cross the bridge onto Sanibel and Captiva Islands, you are in another world.
Captiva Island hotels include the ‘Tween Waters Inn Island Resort with its fabulous fine dining restaurant, the Old Captiva House. And, no visit to Captiva is complete without going to the Mucky Duck for sunset watching, island music and great food. Sanibel Island resorts offer fabulous Sanibel vacations and there are numerous Sanibel Island vacation rentals to choose from. The Mad Hatter restaurant on Sanibel is a fine dining tradition and a must visit!
On to the beaches! We’re featuring 6 of the 12 in this article.
Natural Florida beach sand and warm waters invite you to relax, read or
partake in a favorite beach activity - shelling. Each beach has a
