Unforgettable for uncountable reasons
THINK Florida and think blue skies and warm Gulf waters blending together on the horizon. Think perpetual sunshine, natural white sand beaches and pristine, uninhabited islands. Think of days spent island hopping on a charter cruise, evenings spent wandering unique restaurants and boho galleries. This is Florida how it’s meant to be, and thankfully how it remains on The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel.
the sun splashed coastline like tiny jewels – some uninhabited and accessible only by boat or seaplane, others fi lled with activities that effortlessly blend rustic charm with modern comfort and luxury.
FIND YOUR BEACH. A few hours from Miami, Orlando and Key West, and easily accessible from Southwest Florida International Airport, is a truly eco-friendly destination. Literally hundreds of islands dot
IT’S ONLY NATURAL. These islands also provide sanctuary to many types of wildlife. Witness dolphins playing in the wake of your charter boat. Paddle inches from friendly Manatees lazily swimming throughout the Great Calusa Blueway. Spy over 300 species of birds in the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, the largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystem in the United States. These experiences are the true gifts of The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel, and the reason Southwest Florida is the place for ecological travel.
IMAGINATION AT PLAY. This island sanctuary will also hold your interest away from the water. Art galleries of every color and variety burst from
the seams on Matlacha and Pine Island. The Boca Grande and Sanibel lighthouses are inspirational to visit, as are the winter homes of Thomas Edison and his good friend, automaker Henry Ford. Their estates, fi lled with tropical gardens, laboratories and museums prove the only limit on success is one’s imagination.
Only one question remains. Where to stay? To experience Florida’s unspoiled island sanctuary, choose from accommodations ranging from hotels and cottages to villas and private homes. Visit
