Paradise plus the holidays equals magical. COASTE | EDITOR’S WELCOME For all of us fortunate enough to live in Southwest
sidewalk lined with charming luminary after luminary.
Florida — as well as the thousands of visitors blessed enough to visit us this time of year — the holidays on Sanibel and Captiva Islands are, well, truly magical.
The magic continues on Captiva, too, when Captiva Holiday Village takes over three weekends of holiday celebrations in December — from Arias on the Beach at ‘Tween Waters Inn, to a tricked-up golf cart parade that’s been featured on the Travel Channel. All across Southwest Florida, the holidays are a time to celebrate family, friends, laughter, love, our blessings and our good fortune to not have to shovel snow. So from all of us in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Estero, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, Pine Island, Gasparilla Island and Southwest Florida — happy holidays to you all. Enjoy your time here on our beautiful COASTE.
And if you haven’t had the opportunity yet to visit us in December, put it on your bucket list.
Yes, there’s something magical about navigating Sanibel’s “main street” — Periwinkle Way — with palm tree after palm tree wrapped in holiday lights. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a long-time resident, it’s a whole new and warmly wonderful twist on the holidays. There’s something magical about “Luminary Night” on Sanibel and Captiva — an evening celebration of camaraderie, good times, outstanding foods and beverages, plus the Sanibel
