To the west of Fort Myers are the islands of Sanibel and Captiva, famed for their magically beautiful beaches, strewn with a great variety of seashells. On the shores facing the mainland are areas of marshland and mangroves, home to a wide variety of animal life. On the north-east coast of Sanibel is the "Ding," the Darling National Wildlife Refuge.
Nature, natural history, and sunset cruises are available. Some cruises for longer periods of time to visit Cabbage Key, Useppa Island, Boca Grande or Cayo Costa.
