Sub-tropical Sanibel Island, along with its sister Captiva Island, are a palm tree and warm breeze haven for couples seeking a honeymoon or romantic getaway on Florida’s southwest Gulf Coast.

You're leaving behind the tacky theme parks and crowds when you arrive here. These two Barrier Islands offer secluded beaches, a wildlife refuge, and activities like hiking, biking and kayaking.

But most of all, Sanibel and Captiva are two of the best spots in Florida to honeymoon near the ocean – perfect for recovering from a stressful wedding day!

Oh, and you’ll love the romantic sunsets on Sanibel too!
