Sanibel Weather
Sanibel has a distinct sub-tropical climate, with wonderful weather from mid January to late May after which the weather would only really suit those comfortable in heat. The beauty of Sanibel is that the weather is good throughout the year; you can come for a holiday to Sanibel at Christmas or in the summer and still get a tan!
Landscape
The city is situated on a small island surrounded by beaches and covered with Bouganvellia and other brilliantly coloured flowers and shrubs nearly all year long. A truly remarkable place to visit on holiday purely for the wildlife! Whether you want to come on holidays to Sanibel simply to relax or to see the amazing wildlife, which they have gone to great lengths to preserve, you will not be disappointed!
Things To Do on Sanibel Holidays
The undisputed highlight of any holiday in Sanibel is without question the stunning beaches which surround the island. Be-speckled with shells, sponges and driftwood, these beaches offer a unique charm, quite alien to most of its lifeless contemporaries. However, if you can be persuaded to leave the magical beaches Sanibel also offers a splendid array of interesting and engaging activities for all the family to enjoy.
Why not continue the natural theme and visit J. N. 'Ding' Darling National Wildlife Refuge. This is a magnificent day out which can be visited by car, bike or on foot and even by Kayak for the more intrepid explorers. Also worthwhile is a trip to the island's most notable landmark, the Sanibel Lighthouse to the east of the island. However you decide to spend your time you cannot help but feel rejuvenated by the beautiful surroundings of a Sanibel holiday.
Culture
Filled with friendly locals, Sanibel has an unmatched friendly and relaxed feel. Days here consist of lazy strolls along the beach, lunch followed by cocktails and then more time topping up your tan!
Nightlife
Sanibel holidays are renowned for peace and relaxation. Offering a large selection of bars and restaurants Sanibel has plenty to offer families of any age without damaging the quiet and laid back fell of the island. However, families seeking a quiet escape would be advised to avoid visiting in March as this would coincide with Spring Break, which happens to be when students from all over America come here to party!
