Sanibel and Captiva were recently named to the New York Times’ “52 Places to Go in 2026”. Our Islands are the only location in Florida to make the list alongside destinations in Iceland, Seychelles, and Brazil to name a few.

The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge has called Sanibel home since its establishment in 1945. Initially known as the Sanibel National Wildlife Refuge, its mission primarily focused on protecting migratory bird habitat. Over the years the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge Complex has expanded to include land over both Sanibel and Captiva with the purpose to preserve and protect wildlife habitat. In addition to protecting vital ecosystems, “Ding” Darling has become one of Southwest Florida’s most beloved attractions, attracting nearly 800,000 visitors from around the world each year. We are proud of our island community for having such a strong and unique identity! When visiting make sure to visit “Ding” Darling and the incredible Florida Wildlife that call our islands home.

🎶 Music sounds better on the water! 🌴

Kick back in an Adirondack chair, enjoy the waterfront views and let the music set the mood at Jensen’s Marina & Cottages. 🎸🌊

Good music, island breezes and that laid-back Captiva vibe — this is how we do island time.

If you are in our unit. Watch from the lanai!

HEADS UP! 🚀 SpaceX launch tomorrow morning at 5:33 AM! The trajectory is northeast, which means parts of Florida, the Southeast and even Northeast have a chance to see a bright jellyfish cloud *IF* the launch is on time. Make sure to take pictures if you see it!
