Not sure what to do during your Memorial Day weekend in Sanibel Island? Well, there are unlimited events and activities that will surely make you have the best holiday weekend of your entire year. We guarantee that with our pristine holiday rentals, good vibes, and perfect weather, you may never want to leave. Let’s check out some of the top things to do during Memorial Day weekend in Sanibel and why Tropical Escape Sanibel is THE best rental company for your upcoming vacay.
Shelling
If you come to the beach with young children, we recommend going shelling on the sandy beaches. Shelling is a great way to get outside, learn about nature, and bond with one another without having to do anything too active or costly! You can head to one of the beaches on Sanibel Island and look for specific shells, find hermit crabs, and take photos of the brightly colored shells on the beach with the crashing waves in the background. Some of the best spots for shelling at Blind Pass Beach, Lighthouse Park, Gulfside City Park, and Captiva Beach.
Take a Cruise on the Water This Memorial Day Weekend in Sanibel
Another fun thing to do during your vacation on Sanibel Island is to take a cruise on the bright blue water and feel the wind in your hair. There are tons of Memorial Day cruises that you can go on that are going to provide you with perfect views of the coastline, houses, town, and wildlife. If you come on vacation with a war Veteran, you can even get a discount on cruises from Pure Florida from May 27 to 30.
Bike Ride Along the Water
There are dozens of miles of bike paths and rails located in Sanibel Island and the surrounding towns. You can easily bike from town to town, cycle along the waterway, or go for an easy bike ride in the morning to get a cup of coffee. Sanibel Island has over 25 miles of bike paths that are great for getting in some exercise, seeing the island, and spending quality time with your loved ones on vacation. We recommend biking along the Rabbit Road Trail and East Gulf Drive with your kids — wear helmets of course!
Sanibel Island Farmers Market
On the weekend, there is no better place to check out in the morning (after a sunrise swim) than the Sanibel Island Farmer’ Market. This bustling and vibrant marketplace is a great spot for you and your family or friends to check out to buy some local produce, purchase souvenirs, or wander around and chat with locals. This market is a favorite among residents and tourists alike, making it a great spot to pick up locally sourced food, organic produce, and chat with like-minded people.
Time for a Burger!
Okay, Memorial Day Weekend is filled with sun, sand, drinks, and burgers! So, where is the best place to grab a burger on Sanibel Island? We have narrowed down the long list of options for restaurants, cafes, and bars in Sanibel Island to our top three for juicy and mouth-watering burgers over the holiday weekend.
Check out Doc Ford’s rum bar and Grille for a laid-back vibe, great burgers, strong drinks, ice-cold beer, and fun music. There is no better place to go for a chilled-out and low-key afternoon or evening with your friend and family than to have a frozen margarita or ice-cold mojito and look at the pristine view.
We also love going to The Island Cow for yard games to play with your kids, live music, entertainment, and cold drinks that are sure to hit the spot. This dining establishment is great for families who want to have a fun night with their kids in a family-friendly environment.
Lastly, Cheeseburger Cheeseburger is a great takeaway burger spot that offers mouthwatering and juicy hamburgers that are perfect for taking to the beach or park to eat outside.
