Sanibe Island, Sanibel Real Estate Sanibel Dreams

Dreaming of an Island paradise with pristine sand, beautiful shells and warm ocean waters?  Dream no more.  Sanibel Island is a dream island located on the SW coast of Florida.  Due to its unique east/west geography, it collects an abundant amount of shells from the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.  Visitors come from all over the world to view this island paradise, and to collect its shells for friends back home.

 



Many visitors are in search of the perfect shell.  There are more than eight varieties of shells to choose from.  The best time to shell is at low tide, the smaller shells are most often found at the lighthouse end of Sanibel, and the larger ones nearer to Captiva.  Live shelling is protected by law.

The Sanibel Lighthouse

The lighthouse stands on Point Ybel Light, as it is known by the locals.  The tower was requisitioned as early as 1833 and stands at 104 feet.  The government declared the east end of the island a lighthouse reservation and in 1884, the lighthouse was complete.  Now, it is a popular beach spot by locals and tourists alike.


 



J.N. "Ding Darling" Wildlife Refuge

Come and enjoy nature!  The refuge is over 5,000 acres, and consists of nearly 300 species of birds, alligators, otters and many more Florida wildlife.  The refuge is located on Sanibel-Captiva road, and is approximately half the length of Sanibel.

Beautiful golf courses on Sanibel Island

Golf Courses

Of course no Florida dream island would be complete without its share of golf courses.  Sanibel offers three beautiful courses: Beach view, the Dunes, and Sanctuary.  You will surely enjoy the golf as much as the wildlife you will encounter.  The Dunes is a redesigned course that will flex your skills, but, lookout for those critters!  The back nine is part of a wildlife preserve sanctioned by the Audubon Cooperative Society.  The Sanctuary is a private, flat terrain course that has water that comes in to play on 16 of the holes.  Enjoy the course's signature hole #4, which displays a stunning view of the Gulf of Mexico.


 


Bike Paths

One of the most popular ways to tour the island is via bicycles!  There are 25 miles of paved bike paths that can lead you to where you want to go.  The bike paths will take you on adventures through quiet neighborhoods, across wooden bridges, and along water ways, while providing the comfort of shade, and the peacefulness of the sounds of nature.
