Whether you’re a permanent resident of Sanibel Island or just visiting for a few weeks, there are so many ways to enjoy all that the activities that Sanibel Island has to offer. Even if you’re there 365 days a year, you won’t have time to explore everything. However, there are plenty of fun resolutions you can make to savor life on island time even more. Here are some of our favorite fun Sanibel Island New Year’s Resolutions.
Go Shelling
Sanibel Island and Captiva Island are known for being some of the top shelling destinations in the world. While there are easy ways to get started on your own by grabbing a bucket and heading to the beach, there are also shelling cruises that let you enjoy the experience with the help of professionals. Adventures in Paradise offers a Shelling Beach & Dolphin Cruise that takes you to North Captiva Island for plenty of time on the beach. The cruise includes beach chairs, umbrellas, bottled water, and snorkel masks for a fun time.
Take a Sunset Cruise
Captiva Cruises is a locally owned and operated business that offers amazing wildlife sunset cruises. These give you the opportunity to see breathtaking views, birds, dolphins, and other wildlife. They also offer many other cruises, including a beach and shelling cruise that gives you two hours of fun on the beach.
Head to J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge
Sanibel Island residents are lucky because they can see some of the rarest birds and wildlife in the world! The wildlife refuge has shorebirds, waterfowl, wading birds, and other wildlife that you can see and enjoy in its natural habitat. It is part of the largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystem currently in the United States, and there is also a free education and visitor center that you can visit to learn more.
Enjoy a Day at the Spa
Sanibel Day Spa is going to be reopening soon, and they are the perfect place to enjoy relaxing and soothing treatments in a tropical environment.

Take a Day Trip
Even lifelong Sanibel Island residents have something to learn on and off the island!
