Sanibel and Captiva Islands Attractions and Activities

Sanibel & Captiva Islands are ‘not all beaches’! Although the pristine beaches can keep you occupied for hours together, there are various other attractions at Sanibel & Captiva Islands that provide wholesome entertainment. Some of the most prominent ones are:

Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum
Named after two island families, the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum is dedicated to showcasing shells from geographical, historical, scientific and artistic perspectives. The museum is located on the Sanibel-Captiva Road.

BIG Arts
BIG Arts, also known as Barrier Island Group for the Arts, offers its audience the perfect mix of art and entertainment. There are dance performances, visual arts, musical performances ranging from classical to jazz, children’s summer camps, lectures, award-winning films and even workshops for the artistically inclined!

C.R.O.W
The Clinic for Rehabilitation of Wildlife at Sanibel & Captiva Islands is a facility devoted to restoring Florida’s wildlife. The clinic treats injured birds and animals and even shelters orphaned fauna. The C.R.O.W treats close to 3,000 patients every year!

Sanitel Public Library
The Sanibel Public Library conducts author talks, book discussions, children’s programmes and art exhibits. The library houses more than 50,000 books and 5,000 videotapes/audiotapes/CDs, all accessible via an online card catalogue. Membership is offered to both residents and visitors.

J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge
The J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, off Sanibel-Captiva Road, is a 6,300-acre wildlife refuge. It was named after the Pulitzer winner cartoonist and pioneer environmentalist Jay Norwood Darling. The refuge is home to 238 species of birds, 32 species of mammals and about 50 species of reptiles. Bird-watching is obviously a huge attraction here but for those looking to spend some quiet time amidst nature, there are several bike and walking paths, winding canoe trails and a four-mile scenic drive, dotted with sea grape, red mangrove, cabbage and sabal palms, and other native plants.
