Sanibel Island, Florida - The Sea Shell Capital!

VACATION RENTAL: http://www.Shorewood2C.com - Welcome to Sanibel Island, Florida!

As you leave Fort Myers and begin to cross the Sanibel Causeway, gulls, pelicans and terns herald your arrival - flying alongside your car, and you may possibly be greeted by jumping dolphins below in the water.
