Sanibel Island

1 of 3

Why should you come here? Shelling that is world-renowned, small-town charm, local gastronomy, and a calm ambiance are all found here. Sanibel Island is a favored destination for families traveling with children because of its laid-back atmosphere and predominantly warm, tranquil seas. Known for its world-class shelling and charming vibes, Sanibel Island is home to a unique phenomenon known as the "Sanibel Stoop," which involves visitors and locals alike bending over the beach to examine the unique treasures the ocean provides in what has been affectionately dubbed the "Sanibel Stoop." Even though there are numerous restaurants, stores, and galleries in the region, Sanibel prefers to maintain its small-town atmosphere, and you will be hard-pressed to locate many brand restaurants, streetlights, or even traffic signals in the area.
