Tips for a Sanibel Island Stay

02 Beachcomb Blind Pass Beach

Beautiful beaches cover Sanibel, but the best one for shell collecting is Blind Pass, on the narrow strip separating the island from its sister, Captiva. Strong currents in the area bring in a daily rich haul of new shells. But it's also a peaceful, less touristed stretch of soft sand great for strolling. Try Bowman's Beach for calmer, shark-free waters if you want to go for a swim.
