Close to Fort Myers just off the southwest coast of Florida, Sanibel Island
is a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico. Picking up your Fort Myers 15
Passenger van car rentals at the airport you are only a short 45 minutes away
from a great holiday destination.
This barrier island is about 12 miles in length and 4 miles wide and is
easily accessible by crossing the causeway in your Fort Myers 15 Passenger van
car rentals. It runs east to west of the Florida coast instead of north to
south, which gives it a scoop shape. Sanibel is a wildlife refuge with almost
2/3 of it a wildlife preserve. It offers great bike and hiking trails along with
17 miles of tranquil, sparkling sandy beaches.
No trip to Sanibel is complete without at least one excursion into
beachcombing. Acting as a scoop because of its shape the island attracts people
worldwide for this activity. Sanibel is considered one of the best places to
gather shells and best of all sea shelling appeals to all ages. See all those
people hunched over, carrying buckets and shovels? Thatâ‚„s the
â‚“Sanibel Stoopâ‚. The best times for beachcombing are right after a
storm and at low tide so get your bucket, net bag, shovel, hat and sunscreen
from the trunk of your Fort Myers 12 Passenger Van Car Rentals and join the
stoopers. Youâ‚„ll pick up some exquisite shells for your collection and
crafts. And you can help the living, stranded mollusks by placing them back in
the water.
Sanibel Island has some rules about access to the windswept, sandy beaches
that you may want to keep in mind. For instance, there are various permits
available to you, such as â‚œA Permitsâ‚„, which limits certain beaches
only for you. â‚œB permitsâ‚„ can be purchased at the Police Station
and will allow you to have access to certain beaches in your Fort Myers 15
Passenger van car rentals. All public beaches have restroom facilities while
some offer other amenities such as outdoor showers, picnic tables, or barbecues.
Walking on the hard-packed sand at the waterâ‚„s edge or just relaxing
under the shade of the huge pines is a great way to spend your time so pack a
picnic along with your swimming gear into the trunk of your Fort Myers 12
Passenger Van Car Rentals and hit the beach!
Free parking is available for your Fort Myers 15 Passenger van car rentals at
all Causeway Beaches. You can even park right up to the waterâ‚„s edged -
just remember about high tide - or under the numerous shade trees. For the more
active person, you may want to go kayaking, windsurfing or canoeing. Fishing for
your supper in the gulf is also a great pastime but watch out for those seabirds
that will try to steal your catch. Have a camera ready to have evidence of the
one that got away.
Besides spending time at the beaches, Sanibel Island offers an abundance of
things to do. You may wish to hike along the many nature trails enjoying the
native flora and fauna. Walking under the shading trees seeing the colorful
butterflies flitting about and listening to beautiful songs of the birds
chirping happily is a great way to wear off that delicious ice cream cone or
decadent dessert from the night before. There are really great bike trails too.
Of course Florida is not Florida without golf and tennis clubs. Grab your clubs
or racket from your Fort Myers 12 Passenger Van Car Rentals and experience the
Island games. There are many great places to shop as well. Sanibel Island is
famous for its shell art and crafts so be sure to pick up some unique souvenirs
to take home with you as a reminder of your great holiday.
