The community of Sanibel has taken strides to keep its shops and boutiques from overshadowing the island’s flora and fauna, so you’ll have to look hard to find any garish signs or neon strip malls. The few shopping “malls” on the island feel more like tropical parks dotted with discrete Caribbean beach shacks. Art galleries and antique dealers set up shop along Periwinkle Way, as do gift boutiques and high end clothiers.
