Far from just a top vacation destination over the winter months, November and December is an ideal time to visit Sanibel and Captiva. Florida’s late fall weather is spectacular: on Sanibel Island, you’ll see lows in the 60s and highs in the 70s and 80s. You won’t be able to get in the water every day and you should certainly pack a sweater for the chilly evenings, but still, you’ll find the tides are generally low (translation: good shelling conditions). Room rates are good and you don’t have the threat of a bad thunderstorm. Plus, not only are the roads are a little less traveled and the beaches a little less crowded, but another perk is also that the heart of the community comes alive during those months, giving the island a local feel.
Many others agree. Here are some nationally acclaimed sources.
