On Sanibel Island's back bay: Real Florida! A small nature center, a guided tour on a tram or drive through options. The birds here are amazing. Possible Alligator sightings (hint: usually seen on the left side of the road at one of the pull over stops) You can also fish in the refuge.

On Sanibel Island: $6 to get over the bridge, then pay to park. It's totally worth it! The beach is amazing. There are usually dolphins playing just offshore. If you haven't seen a dolphin, head between the lighthouse and the fishing pier area. I almost guarantee you will see some playing to the right of the pier.
