Sanibel & Captiva Islands Great Day Out


Start with breakfast
Guided kayak tour
Guided kayak tour
at the Lighthouse Café, where recently, diners overheard discussion of closing the restaurant so “The Kennedys" could dine in private (yes, most likely those Kennedys). Then take a shelling charter with Mike Fuery's Tours to North Captiva.

Next, visit the well-presented displays at the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum to identify your finds. Lunch at Amy’s Over Easy Café is a brightly colored affair. Then either bike some of Sanibel’s 25 miles of paved paths (try Billy’s Rentals & Segway of Sanibel) or head over to Tarpon Bay Explorers for a guided kayak trip.

Round out the evening with dinner at Doc Ford’s Sanibel Rum Bar & Grille, then take in a spot of culture at The Schoolhouse Theater.

Did You Know?

Legend has it that Spanish pirate Jose Gaspar made his home on Pine Island Sound, reportedly establishing headquarters on Sanibel Island, holding his female prisoners captive on Captiva Island, burying his booty on Gasparilla Island and imprisoning his beloved Mexican Princess Joseffa on Useppa Island. Rather than be taken prisoner by the U.S. Navy, the scoundrel drowned himself in anchor chains in 1821, the same year Spain sold Florida to the U.S. government for 13 million dollars.
