Sandbars to Sanibel
A film set on Sanibel Island, Florida, an island in the Gulf of Mexico circa 1929. The islands mail girl drenches the mailbag and the whole town fondles a water soaked letter trying desperately to find the recipient, resisting the temptation to read its contents. A love affair ignites, a school house goes bezurk, and a small village becomes re-united. This film is shot entirely hand held, in 24 frames. All 49 actors are townspeople from Sanibel and Captiva with little to no acting experience. All 8 original wood framed knotty pine buildings are tightly positioned on 2 acres, yet they appear miles apart in the film. This film reflects the true characters of Floridas island pioneers. Sandbars to Sanibel is a fun romantic chock full of Easter egg surprises.
Welcome to Sanibel Island, Florida!
INFO: - As you leave Fort Myers and begin to cross the Sanibel Causeway, gulls, pelicans and terns herald your arrival - flying alongside your car, and you may possibly be greeted by jumping dolphins below in the water.
Here, mother nature has created a masterpiece of soft white sugary sand, soothing gulf breezes and abundant natural beauty. From the renowned and historic Sanibel Lighthouse, which beckons you to the shell strewn Gulf of Mexico beaches, to the meandering canals, Sanibel possibly has the best weather in the world.
But it's the beaches... garnished with tossing palm trees and whispering pines, it's miles and miles of beaches appeal to even the most finicky of beach enthusiasts.
Sniabel Island offers the best shelling in North America simply because of geography and the shape of the island. The term Sanibel Stoop and Captiva Crouch refers to the many visitors bending over and collecting their bounty of seashells. In fact, The non profit Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum features more than 30 exibits of mollusks from around the world, and are devoted to shells in art and history, shell habitat, rare specimens, fossil shells, and more. There is a hands on play area for children as well as videos and games.
Miles of white beaches are located throughout Sanibel and nearby Captiva island. Most beaches have nearby parking, restrooms, showers, grills, picnic tables and of course, miles and miles of sand. Some beaches have gentle waves perfect for little children - others have a bigger surf to slash and swim in the sun kissed Gulf.
Enjoy miles of scenic bike paths and walking paths that meander along the gulf and wind through wildlife habitat and quiet neighborhoods.
Sanibel is a barrier island sanctuary where over 67 percent of the lands on the island are protected.The J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge is second only to beaches as the island's top attraction, and is one of the top 5 most visited refuges in the US. Tram tours are the best and most eco friendly option with little impact on the environment, plus your experienced guides will help you spot wildlife that most visitors would never see on their own or would be able to identify. These guides take visitors past tidal mud flats and mangrove forests where spoonbills, herons, flamingos, egrets, pelicans, ibis, anhingas, bald eagles and many more birds may be observed.
Whether you're a fisherman angling for your early morning catch, a kamakaze pelican looking for his next meal or just want a nice quiet seafood dinner, there are many local restaurants and cafes for your dining pleasure. The island is pleasantly devoid of chain stores and restaurant, as well as big box stores, but is dotted with locally owned, colorful shops, galleries and restaurants.
The recently renovated Island Cinema and the Schoolhouse Theatre provide plenty of entertainment. The new city recreation center offers swimming and other activities.
The best way to experience this paradise is to stay right here on the islands. For information on a beautiful gulf side 3 bedroom condominium for rent, visit Shorewood2C.com. With room to sleep 6, the quite complex offers a swimming pool and direct access to this sandy beach.
provides high definition real estate video tours, client testimonials and community tours for Massachusetts & New Hampshire along with wide angle, high quality real estate photography.

A Salty Passion: Hi! We are Ryan (RumShopRyan) and Crystal (Castaway Crystal), we document, photograph, and film the best the Caribbean has to offer. Whether it’s stunning beaches, relaxing hotels, friendly restaurants, or soggy beach bars…we want to share it and inspire others to explore the islands.
MEET US!
Who Is RumShopRyan:
Howdy! I’m Ryan and I hail from the land-locked, can’t get any further from the ocean, state of Kansas. I moved to laid back southwest Florida in 2001. I didn’t know a single person and didn’t have a job. Risky I know, but the ocean was calling and I had to answer.
I’m a huge fan of Kansas City sports, so you’ll probably see a lot of Jayhawks, Chiefs and Royals attire in my photos. Kansas City is a great town and I’m glad I’m from there, but the coastal life was calling. It’s kind of like Kenny Chesney’s “island boy” song. Check out the lyrics and you’ll see what I mean.
I write because I’m passionate about the Caribbean and the island lifestyle, and it’s my way to share it with you. If it has anything to do with the Caribbean, rum drinks, beach style music, or Caribbean culture, you’ll be able to find it on this site.
When in the Caribbean you’ll find a camera around my neck and note pad in my pocket. This is how I document the experiences in unique and interesting ways and bring it back to you, the Castaways.
Who is Castaway Crystal:
I was raised in Southwest Florida so it’s no surprise that I have a love for beaches, water and nature. As a child, most weekends were spent fishing in the warm gulf waters on the family boat. As an adult, most weekends are spent soaking up the sun on Ft. Myers Beach. Even though I have always loved the coastal life, I don’t think I fully appreciated it until I moved to Nashville, TN. I’m all about experiencing new things, and as a Licensed Massage Therapist I thought it would be amazing to massage some of Nashville’s biggest stars (a girl can dream right?). But I missed the sun and sand too much—and let’s not forget the rum runners! After a year I couldn’t take it anymore, this sun bunny moved back to her coast of somewhere beautiful.
I’ve always been passionate about photography and writing, but my passions never really had a purpose until I met Ryan. I couldn’t be happier being Ryan’s first mate and sharing my photos and stories with you. May they inspire you to go after your tropical dreams and wishes. Make a plan…Set a date…Just go!
You really do have paradise down in Captiva and Sanibel Islands
We very much enjoyed our trip to the islands. Using the bicycles to get around was so fun. Next trip I think we are going to rent one of the Yolo Sports Coupe 49cc three-wheel scooter to explore. Fishing at the lighthouse is a great thing to do. You can rent kayaks in Captiva or Tarpon Bay.

We are lucky enough to live only 5 minutes drive to Sanibel Island. Being that close, we obviously like to take advantage and make the short trek over the causeway islands to relax on the great Sanibel Island beaches or explore the scene on Captiva Island.
After a great beach day on Sanibel, it was to time leave and grab some grub at the Bimini Bait Shack. This video is leaving Sanibel Island and head back across the bridges.
It’s a beautiful drive. You will offer see dolphins in the waters below, pelicans gliding by just outside your windows and Osprey sitting on the bridge spying their next fishy meal.
Here is that drive.
Cheers!

Captiva & Sanibel Islands SW Florida HD
On our day trip to Florida we visit the two famous islands of Sanibel and Captiva. After the jam at the toll station to Sanibel, we were able to film just out of the car on Captiva unfortunately, as there is public parking very little. With luck, we were able to park for a few hours at Sanibel Lighthouse, and I was able to shoot a little island mood much described by, have fun!
Auf unseren Tagesausflug in Florida besuchten wir die zwei berühmten Inseln Sanibel und Captiva. Nach dem Stau an der Mautstation nach Sanibel, konnten wir auf Captiva leider nur aus dem Auto filmen, da es öffentliche Parkplätze dort nur sehr wenig gibt. Mit etwas Glück konnten wir für ein paar Stunden am Sanibel Lighthouse parken und ich konnte so ein bischen von der viel beschriebenen Inselstimmung filmen, viel Spass!
