Far from just a top vacation destination over the winter months, summer is an ideal time to visit Sanibel and Captiva. Not only are the roads are a little less traveled and the beaches a little less crowded, another perk is 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.

- #9 in the “Best Beaches in the World” category within the “Best Vacations Rankings” for U.S. News
- #1 in the “FamilyFun Travel Awards” in The Top 10 Overall Winners category as well as “The Top 10 South Regional Favorites” and “The Top 10 Tourist Towns” for Parents Magazine
Once you vacation on Sanibel, you might find yourself wanting to stick around. It’s a wonderful place to visit, but perhaps the best way to enjoy our islands is to become a resident – whether it’s full-time or where you have a vacation home.
