Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Fort Myers Beach

"Chef John Wolff brings to the Thistle Lodge nearly a decade of knowledge and creativity from his previous positions with upscale luxury resorts. He has a talent for improving the quality and consistency of the various lunch, dinner, and brunch selections served, as well as a special event and catered selections while remaining true to the food people have cherished for years."

"A beautiful Victorian house with an even better view of the Gulf, theThistle Lodge is a lovely setting for a special occasion or date night. The lodge’s menu is a blend of Floridian, European, and Asian flavors, with fresh seafood and dry aged steaks. They also feature a great selection of wines and cocktails, and have both indoor and outdoor dining options."

"The Sandbar is one of the most well-known restaurants on Sanibel Island, Florida. They have an extensive wine list for you to choose from, so you’re sure to find something to compliment your main meal. While they offer some of the freshest seafood available, you can always find something without seafood as well."

"Rumors swirled in late fall that this local favorite may not reopen. It was a rough summer on the island, as red tide and blue-green algae ravaged it from all sides. But I'm happy to say The Sandbar remains."

"The Fish House has both a restaurant and a casual lounge with a back entrance if you want to come in right from your boat. In addition, if you happen to have gotten lucky with a rod and reel, but don't want to cook your fresh catch these chefs will do it for you. Happy Hour from 11-6 includes more than just drink specials, look for great deals on oysters, clams, peel and eat shrimp and lots more."

"Sanibel Fish House was another one we picked up for takeout. We loved their clams too... although The Clam Shack was better."

"For the cigar aficionado the most beautiful moment of the day is, when he can enjoy a good cigar in the company of like-minded people. In the Cigar Bar Live, he can treat himself to a Scotch or a first-class Irish or Canadian whiskey. Or if you prefer you can also enjoy various cognacs or a fine wine."

"Island Pizza Company is a quaint and colorful “FAMILY” owned restaurant located conveniently on Sanibel Island, with over 8 years of experience. We specialize in home cooked Italian cuisine. With an aroma of fresh cut garlic and basil filling the air, you enter an atmosphere that will make you feel right at home."

"What makes Island Pizza Company stand out from other pizza restaurants is that we believe that customer satisfaction is the key to a successful business."

"A beautiful beach with stunning white sands, Gulfside City Park offers both grassy and sandy areas for visitors to spend some time and listen to the waves. This beach, despite being located on a highly popular touristic island, never gets too crowded, so it's a nice spot to visit if you're looking for a little peace and quiet. Restrooms and showers can be found here, and there are also picnic areas and even grills open for public use, so it's a super spot to visit on a sunny weekend or special occasion."

"This 27-acre mid-island Park located on Algiers Lane off of Casa Ybel Road goes by two names, Gulfside City Park and also Algiers Beach after the road it’s on. It’s a quiet, pet-friendly beach park with plenty of space for kids to run around and pets to play, but it’s also one of our favorite beaches on Sanibel for sunbathing because of its private feel. Algiers Beach is perfect for dog-lovers!"

"Gulfside City Park Beach – known as Algiers Beach to locals – offers a prime spot for picnics under shade trees. Access the beach from boardwalks, and explore the nature trail to see native plants and wildlife. Families also enjoy shelling, dolphin-watching and grilling their favorite foods for lunch or an early dinner."

"This is the beach at the farthest west end of Sanibel Island, just before the bridge to Captiva Island. Blind Pass Beach is on the Sanibel side and Turner Beach is on the Captiva side. Keep in mind that both beaches have limited parking, and you cannot use your Sanibel beach parking receipt on Captiva beaches."

"Jerry’s Café is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Enjoy fresh-made breakfast pastries, signature sandwiches (check out our grouper!), delicious dinner entrees, and fabulous desserts – like our fan-favorite Key Lime Pie – all while enjoying our tropical bird habitat. In addition to our full menu we offer a build-your-own gourmet salad and sandwich bar, exciting daily specials, a fantastic full menu, and a wide assortment of beer and wine."

"Say hello to the macaws on the porch as you head in to pick up some essentials at Jerry’s Foods. Jerry’s started as a butcher shop, so this is probably the best place to pick up some items for a cookout night at your condo. Also on your menu should be the Key lime pie, reported to be the best in the world — but I think there are several other destinations on Sanibel that might dispute that claim!"

"For some truly delicious and unique coffee-style beverages, we suggest taking a stroll to Sanibel Bean. They have a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy your beverage and are near many quaint little shops and boutiques. They have an extensive menu of delicious drinks to choose from and many café style treats and sammies!"

"Popular local hangout with an extensive cafe menu of quick, cheap eats that are surprisingly tasty and prepared with love. The staff are as friendly as they come."

"The Sanibel Bean has a dedicated following and is located across from the public park. It is self-service and has indoor and outside seating."
