The SWFL Guide

I had so much fun partnering with Visit Fort Myers for their National Seashell Day scavenger hunt! 🐚🌴

The adventure took us across Sanibel Island as we searched for shells, explored local landmarks, and completed a series of fun challenges along the way. Our first stop was Bowman’s Beach, where we had to find a seashell that matched our personality.

If you’re looking for unique things to do on Sanibel Island, shell collecting is a great way to explore the beaches while learning more about Southwest Florida’s coastal treasures.

Have you ever found a shell that felt like it was meant for you? 🐚

Looking for the best donuts in Bonita Springs? 🍩

Trackside Donuts has become a local favorite for its oversized, freshly made donuts that keep people coming back for more.

Made fresh daily, these donuts are known to sell out, especially during season, so getting there early is never a bad idea.

If you’re searching for donuts in Bonita Springs, Estero, Naples, or Southwest Florida, this spot is worth adding to your list.
