Fort Myers and Sanibel Holidays
Fort Myers and Sanibel Holidays offer something very special. Discover a tropical island destination where 400 species of shells are washed ashore on over 50 miles of white-sand beaches. Fort Myers and Sanibel boast an amazing array of birds, mammals and aquatic wildlife where you can explore nature preserves on foot or take to the water and make your own trail by kayak.
Fort Myers Holidays
Fort Myers is definitely one of the up-and-coming holiday destinations in southwest Florida. The city itself boasts an interesting history and has links to such luminaries as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Franklin Miles.
Fort Myers' holiday beaches are quite different in character from many of the more commercialised and developed beaches further up the Gulf coast as they demonstrate a charming and cheerful seaside mood. Be sure to visit Lovers Key State Recreation Area; wander the footpath through mangrove islands and past lively creeks to the delightfully secluded beach.
Holidays to Sanibel and Captiva Islands
For a complete getaway just three miles by causeway over San Carlos Bay, fall in love with Sanibel and Captiva Islands. No stoplights or street lights intrude on either island and no building can be taller than a palm tree.
Idyllic Sanibel Island is a relaxed and romantic haven. It is dedicated as a wildlife sanctuary, abounding with native and migratory birds and is renowned for its seashells, heavenly beaches and excellent restaurants. 400 species of shells are washed ashore on over 50 miles of white-sand beaches, and the frequent bending down to collect yet another beautiful addition to the shell collection has given rise to the nickname – the “Sanibel Stoop”.
On charming Captiva Island you'll find more beautiful beaches and emerald seas, plus quirky, one-of-a-kind restaurants and unusual shops.
