Sanibel Island

Paradise is such a simple word, such a simple concept – yet the “Paradise” that is Sanibel Island is complex.  It’s an incredible wildlife preserve with miles and miles and miles of bike paths and natural, ungroomed beaches full of shells surrounded by shallow sand bars, gentle waves, and either the Gulf of Mexico or San Carlos Bay.  Carefully controlled development and growth has preserved an “Old Florida” feel.  Soaring osprey, jumping mullet, playful dolphins, lumbering manatee, colorful roseate spoonbills are but a few of the visitors to Sanibel. 

Welcome to my Paradise.
