2 dolphins leaping at sunset near Sanibel Island Florida

When Hurricane Ian hit SWFL Florida in September, Sanibel and Captiva were absolutely devastated, but businesses are starting to reopen on the islands.

I love being able to support local businesses and I think now more than ever they need our help. It’s so sad to see what the storm did to our islands. While it’ll take a long time for things to look like they did pre-Ian, I love to see businesses starting to get back on their feet. We live in paradise, so whatever we can do to support our local economy is important.

I’ve been spending my weekends either at Fort Myers Beach or Sanibel and it makes me so happy to see so many people out enjoying the beach. Almost like nothing ever happened. Also great to see some new things have opened or relocated and even some make-shift bars and ice cream stands (on Fort Myers Beach) set up.

If you want to go out to the islands, whether it’s for a staycation, a beach day, or to grab a bite to eat, you have options! SanCap Chamber put together a list of the businesses that have reopened on Sanibel and Captiva. You can check out the full list here, but below we’ll have restaurants, lodging, shopping and fun things to do.
