Sanibel is a city in Lee County, Florida, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 6,064. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 6,102 [1]. The city is on Sanibel Island on the Gulf coast of Southwest Florida, and is linked to the mainland by the Sanibel Causeway. A short bridge over Blind Pass links Sanibel to the unincorporated town of Captiva on Captiva Island. More than half of the two islands is preserved in its natural state as wildlife refuges. You can drive, walk, bike, or kayak through the J. N. ("Ding") Darling National Wildlife Refuge[2]. The main town is at the eastern end of the island, while the community of Santiva (a portmanteau of Sanibel and Captiva) is at the northwestern end. The city was formed in 1974 as a direct result of the main causeway being built in 1963 to replace the ferry, and the rampant construction and development that occurred afterward. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
