Sanibel Attractions
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.
