I have read every book on Sanibel and the gulf coast that I have been able to get my hands on over the last four years. This book is by far the best, most comprehensive, and thorough book on Sanibel and Captiva that I have found. The chapters are easy to read and very informative. The pictures are beautiful, and I love the personal touches with the photographs of people who live and visit Sanibel. I wish I would have had this book before we went to Sanibel the first time! I definitely recommend it to all who will be visiting Sanibel in the future.

Excellent book! We have been to Captiva about 10 times and just love it there! The statement in the book regarding crossing the causeway is so true, I giggled to myself. I'm heading to Captiva in 4 more days and wish it were sooner! . I'll be on Captiva for 14 days and as I go through the book, I'm not sure I'll be there long enough to accomplish all of the things there are to do on Sanibel and Captiva. I'll be planning out our days, but also making sure there are some days of just sitting on the beach enjoying as it states in the book. Thank you for sharing your secrets with us and for the insight you provided regarding the islanders feelings. It's important for those of us who come visiting keep the island the way it is meant to be kept. If you are planning on going to Sanibel and Captiva, this book is a must. So much more to do than sit on the beach like we have done and enjoyed for the last 10 visits. We'll be looking for those buried treasures!

I have been to Sanibel and Captiva many time and found the book informative. There are suggestions that the average vacationer would not know to do. I thought it captured the essence of this wonderful area. It is good for the first time visitor to the area, or the experienced vacationer. It was easy to read and use.
