These days the beach on Sanibel has more appeal than ever.
The heat and humidity is greatly diminished by the cool breezes at the shore.
A variety of beautiful birds can be found scurrying around the sand.
Dolphins are frequently seen displaying their charms in the Gulf waters.
And best of all, the water is very welcoming with the perfect temperature and stunning colors.
But what's a day at the beach without some great food to complement the beauty of nature?
Though there are no food vendors on the beaches of Sanibel, there are options every bit as appealing. While you can, of course, cook up something in your vacation rental to bring to the beach, there are even easier and more diversified alternatives.
One option might be to browse the enormous selection of options at Jerry's super market. A new department at this spacious venue is called The Kitchen. The Kitchen has a new and expanded assortment of ready to eat meal options, salads, entrees and much more. Looking for something hot? Jerry's kitchen offers some very exciting choices. Hot off the Grill breakfasts, lunches and dinners include classic Jerry’s traditional meals along with an expanded selection of new items like Breakfast Tacos, Chunky Cinnamon French Toast, Fish Tacos, Jerry’s Prime Beef Burgers and so much more.
But if you prefer your beach blanket bingo wet rather than dry, you might give some thought to Bailey's Coffee Bar. Sanibel Island Coffee Bar offers hot and iced espresso coffees, hot chocolate, smoothies and other refreshing drinks, freshly baked snacks for that hungry moment.
And for those who need a vegetarian snack, or something delicious and gluten free, The Sanibel Deli and Coffee Factory will not disappoint. Panini sandwiches, specialty sandwiches and vegetarian wraps number in the dozens.
All you need to do is bring your beach chairs and a cooler for your beverages and you will be ready to hit the beach prepared for the day~
