First time in Sanibel

First time in Sanibel. Area is back after the hurricanes. The Saniel Inn looks great. Friendly staff. Clean, quiet, close to beach. Took advantage of beach chairs, umbrella, and lunch at the Tiki hut. Recommend Grandma Dots for seafood and The Shack for ice cream and Lighthouse cafe for breakfast.
