As the recovery from Hurricane Ian continues across Sanibel and Captiva Island, starting January 2, 2023 the Sanibel Causeway will reopen to the public. Many reach out for status updates on their favorite local shops and restaurants, and it’s honest to share that there has been much loss. A handful of businesses moved off-island to reopen in the Fort Myers Bell Tower Shops, while others were lucky enough to be able to restore and reopen on the island. Check back here often as we share a complete list of the businesses that have reopened across Sanibel and Captiva. Please travel safely, yet directly, to support these establishments.
At Sanibel Captiva Island Vacations, we’re proud to be part of the Sanibel Captiva Beach Resorts family of brands granting us access to resources to quickly adapt to this unprecedented situation. We continue to meet the needs of home and condo owners across the islands and our mission is to get as many rentals back online as quickly and safely as possible.
