Sanibel & Captiva Islands | 1 YEAR AFTER HURRICANE IAN

Join us as we spend 2 days exploring Sanibel and Captiva Islands one year after the Florida islands were devastated by Hurricane Ian. We'll show you the current condition of both Sanibel and Captiva as we drive up and down the Florida islands, stopping at several beaches and businesses along the way.

While this video is not sponsored, we do have to thank Sun Palace Vacations and the owner of Island Grande for hosting us in their beautiful house in Fort Myers Beach while filming this video. Complimentary accommodations allow us to spend the majority of our filming budget by supporting the local businesses.

If you would like to a vacation rental in Fort Myers Beach for your own vacation on Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, or Captiva, you can visit www.sunpalacevacationhomes.com or call 239-314-0240.

We also have to thank the Moke and Cabana Club for letting us cruise around Sanibel in one of their all-electric Mokes. If you're interested in renting your own Moke, visit www.mokecabana.com or call 239-722-6653.
