Ft. Myers has been called Florida's Tahiti! Their beaches are a mecca for families who love shells. Every day, from dawn to dusk (and during the night if that's when low tide arrives), you'll see hundreds of people walking the beaches in the "Sanibel Stoop", heads and shoulders bent ... eyes totally focused ... looking for treasures. If you wade into the water, you'll find beautiful starfish, sand dollars and live shells to show your children. There's nothing more wonderful than watching them stare wide-eyed as a nine-legged starfish attaches itself to their hands, or a live whelk walks up their arm.
There are many family-friendly places to stay.
The Best Western Pink Shell Resort has a unique position facing both Matanzas Bay and the Gulf of Mexico lets you enjoy beach or bay activities. Sail or watch sailboats. Build castles with moats and bridges. Angle for fish from our 200-foot dock. For kids and teenagers, they offer wild and wacky games and adventures every single day! Excellent boutiques are just a short trolley ride away.
