WHERE TO GO Named one of U.S. News Travel’s top 10 beaches in the world, Bowman’s Beach is a superb choice for groups looking for amenities plus the classic Sanibel atmosphere. Along with its stretch of beautiful Gulf-coast sugar sand, the beach features plenty of parking, barbecue grills, picnic tables, outdoor showers and restroom facilities. Plus, if you’re feeling active, you can launch your kayak or paddleboard anywhere — or just take a walk, hunt for shells and admire the gorgeous view.
WHO TO BRING Memorial Day is not only time to share with family and friends, but to honor the meaning of the day — to remember those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. If you’re beaching with a group this holiday, save on hourly parking fees by carpooling. And if you can’t celebrate without your furry friend, here’s a local insider tip: pets are allowed on the beach — just keep ‘em on a leash and pack your pick-up bags.
No matter who or what you bring, what you eat or where you go, the perfect Memorial Day picnic awaits you on Sanibel or Captiva Islands. So grab your sunblock and let’s go!
