10 Best Islands in the U.S.

Family Vacation Critic, published by online travel specialist, The Independent Traveler, Inc., a subsidiary of TripAdvisor LLC, announced the 10 Best Islands in the United States, naming Sanibel & Captiva Islands as #2 on the list.

2. Sanibel & Captiva Islands, Florida

These two southwestern Florida islands feature empty expanses of white-sand beaches, pink- and purple-hued sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico, and pastel-colored shells for shell seekers of all ages (there is even a shell museum on Sanibel!). The sub-tropical climate makes the area a year-round vacation spot, where families enjoy water sports like parasailing and kayaking, as well as fishing and biking the quiet, less-traveled Florida shores. Miniature golf, tennis and golf fill in the daily activities, before gathering around a table for pink shrimp direct from the waters surrounding you.
