Getting around by car, bike, or walking can all be good options depending on where you want to go and how much you want to see during your visit.
Car
If you are driving in for your trip to Sanibel Island, having a car makes it easy to plan day trips to nearby areas like Captiva Island or Fort Myers. It can be difficult and costly to find parking throughout the island.
You must pay to park at local beaches. Trips from the mainland require you to cross the Sanibel Island Causeway, which has a $6 toll ($9 if your vehicle doesn’t have a transponder.)

If this sounds ideal for your trip, book accommodations nearby your top places to visit.
Trip Duration

If you are short on time or prefer to see the island at a faster pace, 2 to 3 days will allow you to see all the top hits if you move quickly.
In general, if you want to see top sights while still having ample time to relax at the beach, a 5 to 6-day stay is optimal.
