We went to The Island Cow back in 2005 when we came to Sanibel Island. We had such a good time with watching the dolphins off the beach, doing some shopping, doing some shelling and we topped it off by going to The Island Cow for lunch it was so good . They have some great Fried alligator

It is also a very fun place to go, brightly decorated with lots of adorable Nick backs and signs. Everyone was friendly. Great experience, for a family.

I had not heard about Sanibel Island until your video. You're incrediblly knowledgable about the best things to do!!! I think I would like the fine dining restaurants, especially Sweet Melissa's and Captive! Btw, did you know cioppino originates from San Francisco? 😁

[@TheMeganDaily]

I thought this video was going to include some locations in Ft Meyers. Thanks for sharing

[@TheMeganDaily]

Norman Love (in the video) is in Fort Meyers. I also really love: www.lighthousewaterfrontrestaurant.com/ in For Meyers. Fresh seafood and a GREAT view!:)

I am going to visit next month. Do you think we will be okay without a car ? Trying to save money and would love if there's enough to do in walking distance

[@TheMeganDaily]

I would STRONGLY recommend a car. I know some people who bike. It would be very difficult to walk from Sanibel to Captiva. Without a car. Know also that the weather will be HOT and the sun strong. I’m sure there IS a way to do Sanibel without a car, especially if you’re in more of an all-inclusive resort such as Sundial or South Seas Plantation, and you plan on staying there. Sanibel is about 33 miles long, so that’s just a lot of walking if you want to explore a lot of the island.

[@rosamwakyoma7377]

@@TheMeganDaily good to know! Thank you! Seems like car rental priced have gone down since last year so should be affordable

[@Hemifan4266]

And Mc'T's........ unless they had closed, best seafood on the island.....
