Two of Florida's most popular islands, Sanibel and Captiva, are connected to the mainland by a three-mile-long scenic drive across a causeway. They are known worldwide for their more than 200 varieties of spectacular seashells that litter the beaches, particularly after an especially high or low tide. The 6,000 permanent residents of Sanibel also enjoy the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge which occupies almost one-third of the island and is home to exotic species of birds and plants. There are also more than 20 art galleries, interesting shops, and restaurants, amid an unspoiled island atmosphere. |
