Must See Sights and Landmarks in North Captiva Island Area

"We love renting bikes and seeing cities through riding around so when we found out there was a bike path to Sanibel Lighthouse and Beach we knew that would be the way for us to get there. We drove over to Sanibel Island and rented bikes from Billy’s Rental. Billy’s rents a wide range of bikes including those with baby seats, single-speed, trailer attachments for kids and even the weehoo that we rented and used to have Jordyn ride with me. It was the coolest thing I’d ever seen."

"Towering above a lush, green wildlife refuge, the Sanibel Island Lighthouse is the first sight you’ll see when you’ve reached the island. Built 120 years ago, it’s a symbol of Sanibel Island and is surrounded by greenery, as well as a shell filled beach. History, nature and old architecture come together to give visitors a multi-faceted treat."

"While it only actually takes a few minutes to enjoy the views of the lighthouse, it’s something that shouldn’t be missed. It’s not an activity that can take a whole day, but it’s enjoyable nonetheless. Built in 1884, the lighthouse is a historic beacon that got its use when it was built."

"Crazy Dingo Brewing Companyis a fitting name for this next Fort Myers brewery, as it is definitely a quirky spot. This brewery is located on Southern Fresh Farms and is outdoors, with a nearby petting zoo. However, its completely covered from the rain and hot sun, with a large, spread out seating area."

"The first Fort Myers brewery we visited was Coastal Dayz Brewery, because I can’t resist anything coastal!. The taproom was laid-back with a cute patio and plenty of room inside and out. There is quite the surfer vibe here between the atmosphere and beer."
