Lido Beach
7:00 am

An excellent time for a morning beach run!

12:00 pm

Need a good lunch selection? Try Daiquiri Deck on Lido.  Great quick bite selections from this full menu.  Our favorite daquiri is the Bushwacker but you might want to try something a bit more tropical and fruity on your first visit.

6:00 pm

A fun small bar on your hit list?  Definitely Lynches Pub & Grub.  Been serving great beers and food for over 25 years!  Shephard's pie with a black & tan.  Now that's what I'm talking about!

Sanibel Island
7:00 am

Wake up bright and early and head out to the beach.  There is nothing like a relaxing morning walk along the shore.  Before the surf gets all worked up, the waves roll in gently placing you and tranquil state of mind.

Siesta Beach
7:00 am

I would start my day with a walk out on Siesta Beach.

 

8:30 am

Then I would take  Jonny's Original Free Rides to the Sungarden Cafe in the Siesta Key Village.

 

10:00 am

Take a stroll through the Village after and wander through Gidget's Coastal Provisions.  They have lots of cool Margaritaville stuff! 

Turtle Beach
7:00 pm

Enjoy the sunset in this southern Florida style environment. No hustle, no bustle and no noise!  Pure beauty of the setting sun and rolling waves.

8:00 pm

Don't leave the sunset too quickly! The sky changes colors and the brilliant pastels come out 20 minutes after sunset.

8:30 pm

After the initial rush, enjoy a nice relaxing dinner at Ophelia's on the Bay.  A delicious full menu and some great wines to choose from.  This establishment offers a nice view out onto Sarasota Bay.
