Product Description
Sanibel & Captiva: A Guide to the Islands, written by Sanibel residents, is a handbook to all the islands have to offer. It's packed with useful, down-to-earth information on Sanibel and Captiva's beaches, shelling, wildlife, fishing, biking, hiking, boating, shopping, restaurants and accommodations, and includes hundreds of tips on how to have fun. The full-color, 304-page book is an invaluable resource for visitors wanting a few days of real-Florida fun and sun on these legendary, unique islands. There's a full chapter on local shells, another on wildlife, still another on the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife refuge. The Restaurants chapter reviews 64 places to eat, from snack shacks to gourmet bistros. Authors Julie and Mike Neal share their secrets about exploring the islands and viewing wildlife, revealing their favorite locations to spot dolphins, manatees, birds, reptiles and other creatures. Readers discover hidden bike paths and long-forgotten hiking trails, and even learn how to spot alligator tracks. Best of all, Sanibel & Captiva: A Guide to the Islands is filled with over 350 color photos, most never before published.

Great guide book for Captiva Island! April 26, 2008

This is indeed a great guide book for Captiva and Sanibel Islands. We stayed on Captiva in a private house and used this book for dining and shopping recommendations. (Didn't need it for the recreation -- who needs anything more than beach, pool, shells, ocean??!) Weren't disappointed once! We referred to the shell guide more than once.
I usually devour multiple guide books before we go on a trip because it always enhances our vacations immeasurably. For Captiva, the typical (Fodors, Frommers) books were a little sterile. This one felt very local and authentic. I definitely recommend it for anyone lucky enough to visit these beautiful islands! Toast the sunset for me!

I have been visiting sanibel for many years and still got a lot out of this book. It gave me ideas of new things to do while on the island, and the candid restaurant reviews were spot on. Great Book.
 Well worth the money! February 27, 2006

Wow! This is a really great book. We're going to Sanibel Island for the first time and couldn't find any travel books that would give us the lowdown on where to go and what to do - until this book! It gives you a "must do" intinerary if you are planning on staying 3 days, 4 days, etc. It also includes tips for shelling: when to go, where to go and a comprehensive guide to help you identify what you find. I really enjoyed this book and it's now packed in my suitcase ready for the trip.

We had the best vacation EVER thanks to this book! Even when our flight was postponed, this book gave us a few options of activities in Fort Myers on the way to the airport. Who would have thought Sanibel/Captiva had so much to offer. The authors share ever bit of important info and more. Have Fun!
