On This Page:Sanibel Island Overview
Sanibel and Captiva are Florida's unfussy cousins. They don't need lip gloss and eye shadow to make them pretty. Leave the Tammy Faye makeup for Miami and Orlando. Here you'll find none of the neon signs, amusement parks, or high-rise condominiums that clutter most beach resorts in the state. Indeed, Sanibel's main drag, Periwinkle Way, runs under a canopy of whispery pines and gnarled oaks so thick they almost obscure the small signs for chic shops and restaurants. This wooded ambience is the work of local voters, who have saved their trees and tropical foliage, limited the size and appearance of signs, and permitted no building higher than the tallest palm and no WaveRunner or other noisy beach toy within 300 yards of their gorgeous, shell-strewn beaches. Although they haven't yet banned cacophonous cellphones, don't be surprised if they eventually do. It's that peaceful here.
