The sparkling white beaches of Sanibel Island are world-famous for their abundance of unusual seashells. Water-sport choices abound on the island, including windsurfing, fishing, sailing, boat rentals, and canoeing. Our huge pool and tennis court on five lush, tropical acres overlook the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy activities like bicycling and shuffleboard, or relax in beach chairs, visit our shell hut, or enjoy our palm-shaded beachfront picnic area. Twenty-three miles of bike paths wind through nature preserves to art galleries, seafood eateries, island shopping, live theater, and marinas. A tropical paradise is yours to explore, just steps from your room at the Sanibel Sunset Beach Resort.
