Sanibel Island

Recreation Guide

Port Sanibel Marina
Beautiful views from the Marina offer panoramic vistas of the many islands which populate the geographic area surrounding Sanibel Island. Sunbathe on the sand, or watch a pack of dolphins as they course through the gorgeous blue waters which surround you.

Tarpon Migrations
Head down to Fort Myers during the months of April through June to witness one of the planet’s largest annual tarpon migrations. Tarpons can grow up to 8 feet in length, and fishermen from around the country gather here to compete in the tarpon fishing tournaments held every year.

Party and Charter Boats
The waters off of Florida’s southwest coast are some of the most legendary in American oceanic lore, and vacationers to Fort Myers are afforded the perfect opportunity to see just why. Party boats average $40/person for a one-day trip, or guests can opt for a charter boat with a knowledgeable guide for about $400/person.

Kayaking and Canoeing
Guests are invited to rent a kayak or a canoe and take it down one of the many waterways which thread their way through water-dense Southwest Florida. Follow your whimsy down miles of back bays, estuaries, rivers, and creeks, or hire a naturalist guide for a more in-depth experience. Either way, you’ll want to take in unique population of plants and animals that you’ll be winding next to.
