10 Best Breweries in Sanibel Island

"For a larger brewery experience, complete with guided tours, Fort Myers Brewing Company is an awesome option.

Slide into a booth and order a classic blue plate special – the beef stroganoff, say, or buttermilk-fried chicken. Cheeseburgers, liver and onions, and the usual diner suspects line the menu alongside classic Florida fare including Key West grilled shrimp, and Mel’s key lime haddock."

"Situated under the sprawling limbs of a leafy banyan tree, this deck is nothing short of magical come twilight. That's when the twinkle lights come on and the air grows thin and cool. That's when the first cocktail kicks in and I remind myself to keep my mask clean, in case I need to Uber home."
