The city
Barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, connected to Fort Myers by a bridge, known for the shells that accumulate on its beaches and for its protected nature. About two thirds of the island are preserved areas, such as the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, with mangroves and water birds. It has the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum, beaches like Bowman's Beach, and a network of bike paths that cross the island.

The local experience
National wildlife refuge that occupies much of Sanibel, with mangroves, lagoons and a roughly 6.4 km road to view water birds such as roseate spoonbills, herons, pelicans and ibises.
Museum dedicated to shells and mollusks, on Sanibel, with collections from around the world, the Grand Shell Hall and aquariums with live animals from the Florida coast.
About a 3 km beach on the west side of Sanibel, one of the most popular for shelling, with light sand, low dunes and little development around it.
