Water, water everywhere – and so many ways to enjoy it! The Fort Myers Sanibel area offers on-the-water fun in many forms, with activities ranging from the high-powered and thrilling to the slow-paced and sublime.

Sailing

Dream of gliding over blue-green Gulf waters with the wind filling your sails? Take daily clinics or resort-based learning vacations at the world-renowned Colgate’s Offshore Sailing School, with locations on Captiva Island and Fort Myers Beach. Or, simply lounge on the deck of New Moon Sailing’s 39-foot sloop for half- or full-day sails (extended cruises are available, too).

Fishing

Head offshore on a charter boat, motor into the backcountry, surfcast from the beach, catch what’s running from a pier or bridge, or fish for tarpon in Boca Grande Pass. Yearn to learn? Pine Island’s Ultimate Backwater Fishing School offers courses in light tackle or fly fishing.

Water Recreation 101

On The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel, it's easy to combine learning and fun on the water with experienced instructors in kayaking, sailing, snorkeling, fishing and more.

SNORKELING AT BLIND PASS

Learn to Windsurf and Kiteboard

Learn to skim across the waves or fly with the wind. Ace Performer rents equipment and offers windsurfing and kiteboarding lessons next to the Sanibel Causeway. Instructors promise to have you windsurfing in one hour, kiteboarding in three.

Sailing Courses

Offshore Sailing operates schools out of Captiva Island and Fort Myers Beach. From three-day US SAILING courses to advanced racing, coastal navigation and passage making, Offshore appeals to all levels of sailors. Florida Sailing & Cruising School in North Fort Myers conducts yacht-sailing courses and yacht powerboat classes. For something less formal, gather your family for private lessons with Capt. Mick Gurley of New Moon Sailing on Captiva Island.

Learn to Kayak

Most kayak tour outfitters are geared to teaching beginners the simple basics of operating their vessels. They often include intriguing lessons about the environment as well. On Sanibel, contact Tarpon Bay Explorers; on Captiva, Captiva Kayak Company; on Pine Island, Gulf Coast Kayak.

Snorkel with the Fish

If you can swim, you can snorkel, but first-timers often feel more comfortable with a few pointers before they head out. For fun and learning in the same excursion, book with Adventures in Paradise’s shelling and snorkeling cruise of the outer islands, departing from Port Sanibel Marina.

Scuba Certification

Folks often travel to the Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel for the express purpose of earning their scuba certification. Underwater Explorers is THE name in Fort Myers for NAUI courses. Learn to dive during six four-hour classes, with two hours of each lesson spent in the classroom and two in the pool.

Fishing Classes at Local Park

At Lovers Key State Park in Fort Myers Beach, rangers lead fishing and castnetting programs for people of all ages.

Bait Shops

Check in with local bait shops to learn what’s biting where and for information on fishing restrictions. At Big Hickory Fishing Nook on Bonita Beach, they’ll hook you up with bait, fishing charters, a spot on the dock – even a marina-side lunch. The Bait Box on Sanibel Island hosts a Cast Net Rodeo every November. At historic Whidden’s Marina in Boca Grande, a maritime museum takes you into the past. Other favorite bait shops: Shack Baits at the Sanibel Causeway and D&D Matlacha Bait & Tackle in Matlacha.

Island Hideaways in the Fort Myers Sanibel Area

The outer islands of North Captiva, Useppa and Cabbage Key offer historic restaurants, away-from-it-all beaches and more.

CAYO COSTA STATE PARK

Getting There is Half the Fun

A boat ride is required to get to the outer islands (all except Gasparilla), and that’s a big part of their charm. Charter fishing captains and Sanibel Island cruise boats also conduct sightseeing, shelling and adventure trips. Captiva Cruises has regularly scheduled trips to the upper islands of Cabbage Key, Useppa and Boca Grande.

North Captiva

Once a part of Captiva Island, North Captiva was split off during the early 1920s. Four miles of state-owned beaches are a favorite weekend destination. At its northern end, bordered by Captiva Pass, is a sheltered bay known as Safety Harbor. There, a handful of restaurants cater to vacationing islanders, anglers and boaters. Tropical sauces and fresh herbs adorn fish and fowl, which are on the menus alongside cheeseburgers and black beans with rice.

Cabbage Key

Boating can also lead to a culinary adventure. Cabbage Key is home to the famous Cheeseburger in Paradise and a rustic restaurant and bar, Cabbage Key Inn and Restaurant. The walls are lined with dollar bills, placed there by visitors carrying out a tradition begun long ago. Fishermen would tack a spare dollar on the wall for days when fishing wasn’t so good but their thirst was great. Today, the money is signed and dated, reflecting the origins of the thousands of visitors who come to the island.

Useppa

Across the waterway is the gentrified, private island of Useppa. A small historical museum features the Calusa Indians who once occupied the island. The restaurant is housed in the former home of Barron Collier. It was once the center of the sport-fishing world and is where the Izaak Walton League was born. The easiest access to Useppa is via one of Captiva Cruises dining trips.

Cayo Costa

To the north is Cayo Costa, another quiet, unbridged barrier island. The least-visited state park in Florida, this sleeping giant has some 8 miles of beach and offers some of the best shelling in Florida. At its northern end, the state maintains a camping area, picnic tables and restroom facilities.

Gasparilla Island

At the mouth of Charlotte Harbor is Boca Grande, reachable by a draw bridge. From May through mid-July, Boca Grande Pass is one of the most intensively fished areas in the world. Boats are so close together that you can hop from one to the other. All are in search of the silver king, the tarpon. Some say you haven’t fished until you hook into a fish as big as you are. During late spring and early summer, tarpon fill the passes and move into the estuarine waters of Pine Island Sound. Gasparilla Island State Park’s landmark is the low wooden lighthouse established in 1890 at the southern tip.
