When it comes to nightlife — well, nightlife past 10 pm most evenings — the pickings are few and far between on tranquil Sanibel Island.
So imagine everyone’s excitement when the new Sanibel “Wild Mile” was introduced late this January.
Unfortunately, if you’re anticipating bars, bands and beverages — you won’t find them on this aptly-named, roughly one-mile stretch of Sanibel Captiva road. Rather, this Wild Mile is home to four of the top attractions in Southwest Florida for everyone who loves our marine ecosystem, wildlife, the environment and nature.
Starting with Bailey Matthews National Shell Museum & Aquarium on the east, Sanibel’s Wild Mile also includes (just up or down the road) Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation, J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge and C.R.O.W. (Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife). Each of these organizations offers opportunities for guests and residents to visit, participate and learn all about our island lifestyle and how to live in harmony with nature.
As an island resident for more than 20 years, with my home just a few minutes from the actual Wild Mile and 3 kids (now adults) my husband and I have raised, I’ve had the pleasure to visit all of these fun-filled destinations, while getting to call a lot of Wild Mile representatives my friends. Each location is unique, both here in Southwest Florida and in some cases, the world, and are must-dos for young and old. To learn more, visit SanibelWildMile.com or any of the “Wild Webs” today.
