Sanibel Siesta on the Beach

Sanibel Siesta on the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed 5 nights at Sanibel Siesta for a quick trip before Christmas! Very enjoyable and quiet. Rented bicycles and toured the Island! Lots of beach time and a kayaking trip. This resort is right on the beach!! The pool was 84 for those wishing to take a dip. Will look forward to coming back!!"

It’s not everyday you see dolphins inside Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge! These two made their way through a culvert. It reportedly has been at least 15 years since any were spotted this close to the road. (Very common off of the Sanibel beaches ) Happy feeding beautiful creatures 🐬 #wildlife #sanibel
