It was beautiful 🥲

I'm going to Sanibel next month, cannot wait!

Sanibel Island is so beautiful and relaxing. Sights mentioned if short on time: Lighthouse, Bowmans beach, Blind Pass and Turner Beach (great for shelling), JN Darling Refuge (low tide best time to go, National Shell museum, Sanibel Historical Museum and Village, Renting bikes (personal favorite of ours!), Old Pioneer cemetery. Food: Jerrys Groc, Baileys Groc, Loveboat Icecream, Grandma Dots for seafood, MadHatter or Island Cow (wonderful food!). Captiva sights: The Green Flash Rest (seafood and water views), the Mucky Duck, Bubble Room for desert. Thanks for the wonderful video !!

Don't put things on a bucket list. Just do it. I put Sanibel /Captiva on my list and now it has been devastated by hurricane Ian. Looking forward to your amazing comeback Sanibel /Captiva 🙏

Used to visit here all the time when I was a kid, it was a pretty place until Ian leveled it. Lots of memories there.

Never been there but I love what used to be there from this video and I hope some day they can rebuild as well as the rest of most of Florida.

Wanted to see what it all looked like before Ian 😢

Thanks for the narration Patton Oswalt... well done.

So beautiful,I hope to visit one day😍

Great video!!!!!

I went there years ago before it was so built up. It is very beautiful! Collected many beautiful shells. 🌞

Family went to Sanibel island in 1975. Experienced it once.

I love this place

not how it is now...so sad.

I never heard of this island just curious because I’ve seen how sad of what happened today a few days ago and if they rebuild again I wanna come visit!!!

Hurricane Ian Was Here... Sept. 29, 2022 😬

They use to have free parking in the 90s , problem was people would stay all day and there was very limited beach parking ,so unless you got there by 8 am, goodluck ! I use to go at 4am before sunrise an hunt by flash light i got amazing large conch shells . My best one washed up right behind a guy walking about 50ft in front of me 😁

Wow thats a really beautiful sunset near the end.I can see why they risk the sea.The only really tropical state.

Don't forget Hawaii Hawaii is very tropical

Sanibel will rebuild stronger and better. I'm so sorry.

Nice too see the birds ,beautiful water and very very low land.I was there.Not much land at high tide.I had a bad feeling it floods often.Low land is good for nature.Not a $2,000,000 home.

Amazing, beautiful. Heaven? Yep

well, unfortunately you can't now.....destroyed and evacuated...

And now...It's gone...:(

Trying to remember what it was before Ian.

This video paints a romantic and iconic place I have been watching many shellers...and they all come up with a variety of 8 different shells. It's hard to believe you when you sand there are over 250 types!... I call b.s.

Perhaps. I have found much more than 8 and much less than 250. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣 I have seen that statistic in a number of places though. Here is just one. portsanibelmarina.com/shelling-of-sanibel/how-to-find-perfect-shells/

It is still standing! Lots of recovery is needed island wide, but it is still there!

Is this narrated by Patton Oswald?

Captiva is the most lovely place I’ve ever visit. Oh, the shells…But most of Florida is suitable for Faina and Flora and not to humans. If humans just could leave Nature alone

An island with no free parking designed to cater to the super rich. It will cost you 9$ at the bridge and hourly parking anywhere on the island. The only ways to get there for free is to ride a bike or take your own boat.

That's why we call it a vacation. But nope would not pay that here for parking at any beautiful site. Its ridiculous.

Those poor birds at Jerry’s that were left in their cages during the storm!!! No excuse, at least they are free from their lives living in those cages.

Santi el is totally destroyed today… Jehovah and Jesus are coming soon now… I believed that..

Are we camping, Jake? You know we can do that.

$6 bucks to cross the bridge and outrageous parking charge per hour.

Turner Beach has great shelling especially during low tide! Blind pass is also a good shelling spot. 🙂

@@SuperLalalandXD The money grubbing council lost so much revenue from shutting down the beaches during the pandemic they raised the parking rates to over $20 for a couple of hours. Then they raised parking fines to $200! They are even on record during a council meeting discussing raising fines to offset their revenue losses! I'll never go back. Better beaches elsewhere
