Where to Find Florida’s Most Spectacular Sunset

Florida’s West Coast is known for its beautiful beaches and warm weather. Every night, Mother Nature puts on a spectacular display as the Sun gently sinks into the Gulf of Mexico. But, which Florida town has the most spectacular sunsets?

Sanibel and Captiva get our vote. The area’s secluded picture perfect, shell laden beaches are the perfect place to catch the last few minutes of the day’s golden sun rays.

As the sky turns a beautiful burnt orange, sunset lovers gather on the shoreline. It’s not unusual to see pelicans circling in the sky or a school of dolphins frolicking by the shore. They don’t want to miss the show either! As the sun begins its slow descent into the warm, calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the anticipation builds. Will tonight be the night to see the famous, but elusive “Green Flash?” If not, there’s always tomorrow!

Sanibel and Captiva are two of Florida’s best beach getaways. Their award winning beaches are known for the thousands of shells that wash ashore. Beaches are generally uncrowded. The surf is gentle, making it perfect for swimming and snorkeling. And daytime temperatures rarely dip below 70 degrees.
