Relax on the Sanibel Inn Beach

Beach chairs, umbrellas and towels may be available through the resort’s Beach Hut during its operating hours. Availability is limited and may depend on the activity benefits included with the reservation.
Sanibel is widely known for shelling, but conditions change with tides, weather and Gulf currents. Wildlife sightings, shelling conditions and water clarity cannot be guaranteed.

- Dante’s: A sit-down restaurant serving breakfast and a varied menu that includes wood-fired selections, seafood and other island-inspired dishes.

Menus, operating days and restaurant hours may change seasonally. Check the Sanibel Inn dining page for current information.
