Live Like a Local and Search for Seashells on Sanibel Island

February 04, 2019

Ranked as the number one of the “Top 10 Best Florida Beach Towns” by USA Today, Sanibel Island offers visitors 15 miles of beaches, 250 types of unique seashells, and 230 different types of birds to admire. Travel by ferry and time your visit on a Sunday to experience the Sanibel Island Farmers Market. At the weekly event, you can join the local community in collecting fresh produce, bread, honey, flowers, and more from the many local vendors lined up. The Farmers Market is a true look into the supportive and relaxed community of farmers and island-dwellers. Spend the rest of your day finding beautiful seashells, grabbing a bite to eat, and exploring the beautiful pathways on this stunning island.
