Southwest Florida, Florida in general, actually, is overflowing with attractive beaches worthy of turning your head from your duties for a few days of rest and rejuvenation. Picking a place as the scene of your vacation is like deciding between amazing, spectacular, and lovely, so take a word of advice and consider Sanibel Island. Simple, straightforward, and stunningly beautiful, this destination rarely disappoints.
First and foremost, Sanibel is known for being one of the top shelling locations. Its rare orientation as an east-west barrier island gives it the superb distinction of receiving more shells than most beaches; in fact Sanibel and neighboring Captiva are essentially made out of conchs, whelks, and scallops. This makes for visitors who find themselves constantly bent over and searching for that perfect natural souvenir, so be prepared to stoop a lot during your stay here....read more
