  • The gulf waters surrounding Sanibel are warm and protected, with a shallow sandy bottom. No need for scuba-diving lessons here - there's no need for all that equipment. Swimming and snorkeling are the preferred ways to get to know the saltwater species that abound in our local waters. If you wish, you can also arrange to dive in Florida's crystal-clear freshwater springs.

Snorkeling can be even more fun with a boat and a guide to help you find the best spots

  • Saltwater Fishing is available from a variety of charter operators, and small boats are available, or just drop a line from shore while you work on your tan. Local charter operators can handle the details of fishing licenses and meals, and you can bring your catch back for dinner.
