Inside Scoop

Go early to the beach (before 10am) for easy parking, calmer water, and the best shells.

Sunset tip: head toward the water in the evening — the skies light up almost every night and it’s way less crowded than midday.

Best “not-too-busy” beach vibe: Lovers Key is a local favourite when Fort Myers Beach feels packed.

Sanibel shelling trick: look after a windy day or right after low tide — that’s when the good ones show up.

Best casual waterfront eats: pick places slightly off the main beach strip for better prices and shorter waits.

Dolphin spotting: mornings are usually the best time to see them, especially on calm days.

Easy family win: plan one “pool day” in the middle of your trip — kids love it and it’s a great reset day for everyone.

Quick grocery hack: stock up once when you arrive so you’re not wasting beach time running errands.
