Naples is thirty minutes down the road. Tampa & Busch Gardens are an hour and a half north, and Orlando is only just over 2 hours away. But it’s the beaches and the ocean that bring most people onto Florida's gulf coast. Glorious Sanibel and Captiva are just 10 minutes to the Sanibel causeway. Fort Myers Beach with its silver sands and lively atmosphere is just as close.

Don't miss the wildlife. It's stunning. Corkscrew Swamp, the Ding Darling wildlife preserve on Sanibel, the manatees in the Caloosahatchee River in the cooler months: these are just some of the places you could spend a long afternoon. And then there's pelicans and osprey dive-bombing into the water, the birds scuttling up and down the seashore, following the waves, alligators in the Everglades and swamps, and the dolphins swimming into the surf breaking at the edge of Sanibel's Lighthouse Beach ... whatever turns you on, it's here and it's fantastic.

When you need to shop for everyday things, Publix, Blockbuster, Walgreens and more are just round the corner. And for fashion, electricals etc, Wal-Mart, Tanger Outlet Mall, and Bell Tower Shops and other shopping malls are all within a 15 minutes drive, and the huge Miromar Outlet Mall is just 20 minutes down the I75.
