Even when I told my friends I was going to Sanibel Island for the first time, they told me that the beaches are white, the shells abundant, and the water aquamarine. Well THAT was a fallacy. Here is the real truth about Sanibel Island: the water is green and murky, the "shells" are just washed up remnants mixed in with seaweed and dead fish, yes dead fished washed up ashore, and the island has no essence of being a real island. I was just in Negril, Jamaica where we stayed at a small but clean hotel for 1/2 the price, right on the beach of white sand and real warm clear shores so I am biased in my opinion. I reside in Boynton Beach and even the local beaches are nicer than this! I type this as I am here in Sanibel and cannot get over how this place was so hyped up.
