Sanibel Captiva Budget Travel

Best prices for visitors on a shoestring are found from June through the end of November. During the winter months, most rooms go for more than a pretty penny.

Periwinkle Way and Gulf Drive are good sources for reasonably priced lodging during the low season. Many have whirlpools, bicycles, and grills. Some throw in a free continental breakfast, including Best Western Sanibel Island Beach Resort and Brennan's Tarpon Tale Inn. Because both islands are so small, you're only steps from the water wherever you rest your bones.
