Sanibel Island beach

ShermansTravel.com, a leading publisher of travel deals and advice, named Sanibel Island to its list of "Top 10 Family Beaches" in the U.S. Just what about Sanibel's sands garnered the attention of Sherman's editors? According to the article:

The island "has all the ingredients for a kid's dream vacation – soft white sand, gentle surf, and shallow water…" where "17 miles of seashells are yours for the pickin.'"

Ecotourism centers such as the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge provide "the educational possibilities that parents love."

"Tennis, golf, shopping, and biking means there's plenty for grown-ups to enjoy on Sanibel too."

Packed with possibilities for all ages, it's easy to see why Sanibel Island rates as a top family beach.
