Unlike other paradise locations, thanks to visionary land-use regulations, the island's charm will remain unspoiled for generations to come. Buildings along Sanibel's coastline must be to taller than tree line. Roughly half of the island is a wildlife refuge, with additional lands set aside each year to prevent more development. The islands of Sanibel and Captiva, while only 45 minutes from the Ft. Myers airport seem a world away. Did you know that Sanibel is only 3 miles wide at the widest point which is Dixie Beach Boulevard and approximately 13 miles long? The island is the year around home to roughly 6500 residents and the population increases in season to over 22,000 residents.

Residents and vacationers enjoy over 22 miles of bike paths, world famous shelling beaches, and
