Sanibel And Captiva
Sanibel and Captiva are two of the beautiful paradise islands in the Florida Gulf Coast, where the lazy lifestyle offers a tranquil break from it all and the traffic stops for tortoises to cross the road. The slow pace of island life rarely heats up, even during winter when the tiny resident population is totally obscured by the influx of vacationers. The families and romantics who holiday here do not come for the bright lights, but to enjoy the white sandy beaches strewn with an abundance of seashells, the crystalline, warm Gulf waters, the huge variety of wildlife, and the fabulous fresh seafood. These islands have no high-rises or honking horns, but they do offer all the amenities to make for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. There are shops and services, some wonderful restaurants, even live theatre and the occasional musical performances. The more exclusive and upscale of the twin islands is Captiva, connected to Sanibel by a bridge. Captiva is tiny and smacks of wealth and quiet charm, topped off at its northern end by the luxurious all-inclusive South Seas Resort. This is the place to 'unplug', unwind, go barefoot and snooze under a palm tree.
