Along with this you can be sure to go bike riding for another 25 miles along it's paths. The best part of Sanibel is defined in one true statement, they say - home is where the heart is. If you have been looking for Paradise, then Sanibel is it. No traffic lights, only old Florida beach charmed living. With easy access through the causeway, Sanibel is considered a vacation haven for the wealthy.
