Whether you’re one for swimming, surfing, sunbathing, or exploring beautiful landmark attractions, a trip to Sanibel is a year-round amazing destination to explore. That said, there’s something endless appealing about a spring visit this way that travelers from near and far find fascinating with good reason. Between the amazing weather, beautiful shorelines and access to fun and activities in abundance, you’ll find no shortage of options to enjoy. The following are just a few of the many Sanibel things to do this spring when you’re excited to swap out that daily routine for a well-deserved vacation!
Rent a Bike and Hit the Trails
Sanibel Island, Florida is a fantastic place to settle into the sand and soak up the sun in abundance. However, a spring trip this way is the ideal time of year to rent a bike and hit the many trails that this destination offers access to as well. The mild weather, amazing views, and options to cycle the day away at your very own pace is an opportunity that shouldn’t be passed up while you’re in town. Making this option even more convenient is that visitors don’t need to have their own cycling gear on-hand to make the most of the fun. Local stops like Finnimore’s Cycle Shop at 2353 Periwinkle Way are open from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm daily and offer up bikes of all types for rent! This rental stop has something for everyone in your springtime traveling crew to enjoy no matter what your biking skills or goals for the day’s adventure on the trails may be.
Try a Kayaking or Paddleboarding Adventure
Tranquil time on the water is a highlight of a trip to Sanibel Island in the spring. The alluring blue waves enjoy gentle surf this time of year, offering up options to kayak or paddleboard your way through a sunny afternoon if that sounds like a good option! Head over to Paddle Board Sanibel at 2422 Palm Ridge Road to rent your paddle board, kayak, bike, or beach accessories by the day, week or even month at a time! Free delivery and pick up options are available depending what type of rental you select, so be sure to ask when you’re looking for a springtime activity made that much more convenient and fun.

The Sanibel Marina is open daily from 7:00 am until 5:00 pm and offers up boat rental options of all types. Whether you’re looking to enjoy fishing, cruising or wildlife spotting, the marina has a variety of vessels to choose from that are available to rent for a half day or full day of fun!
