Amenities and Attractions
Although it’s a safe bet you will want to explore the Islands and everything they have to offer, there is plenty to do right here at Sanibel Moorings:
- Take a guided tour of the stunning tropical flora, including the budding hibiscus collection, and watch the monarchs and queens flutter by in the butterfly garden, or relax in the shade next to the fragrant flowers and listen to the soothing, gurgling fountain.
- Join the weekly shelling lecture before hitting the beach to collect conches and coquinas. Grab some exercise with a game of tennis or take a refreshing dip in one of our swimming pools. Fire up the grill, cook up some fresh fish or good old-fashioned burgers, and enjoy an outdoor picnic, then lounge in your suite and watch a DVD on the flat screen television.
- If you have a Gulf Front suite, pour a cup of coffee, sit on the lanai, and admire an amazing Sanibel sunrise and pelicans scoop up their breakfast.
- For those on the canal side of Sanibel Moorings, you will notice the newly refurbished docks where you can tie up your boat for free and have quick and easy access to the Sanibel River and Gulf of Mexico. You’re welcome to fish on the beach or off the Sanibel Moorings docks. Tarpon, Snook and Sea Trout are just some of the frequent catches. In fact, the Sanibel-Captiva area is known as one of the top tarpon fishing locations in the world.
Things To Do
When you do venture off the property, perhaps you’ll want to golf at one of Sanibel’s challenging courses, or rent a bicycle and hop on the scenic Sanibel bike paths. From Sanibel Moorings, you’re just a mile down the road from several popular East End shops and restaurants. Go another half-mile and you’ll reach the historic Lighthouse – perhaps the most photographed Sanibel landmark. It is still functional, and is currently operated by the Florida Coast Guard. While you’re there, watch the hopeful snowy egrets with their trademark “golden slippers” as they buzz around the fishermen casting their lines off the famous Lighthouse Pier.
Bicycling is certainly a popular way to get around the island and check out all the renowned shops, art galleries, museums, preserves and restaurants. “Ding” Darling Refuge presents fun and educational activities for the whole family, and the likelihood of spotting plenty of wildlife. The Shell Museum and the Sanibel Historic Village are also fascinating stops on the tourist trail, while the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation and Tarpon Bay Explorers offer programs, hands-on nature encounters and scenic island tours that will make for a memorable stay on Sanibel.
Of course, Sanibel is surrounded by miles of gorgeous beach that promise plenty of fun-filled days of sunning, swimming and sailing. After you’ve sampled the beach in front of your Sanibel Moorings condo, you might want to visit some of the other public beach areas such as Bowman’s Beach on Sanibel and Blind Pass near Captiva.
Whether you stay for a few days or a few months, Sanibel Moorings is a vacation resort that gives its guests a taste of what island living is all about.
