Nightlife

You won't find glitzy nightclubs on these family-oriented islands, but night owls do have places to roost at the resorts and restaurants listed. Here's a brief recap:

Sanibel Island -- The Sundial Beach Resort's Beaches Bar & Grill, 1451 Middle Gulf Dr. (tel. 239/472-4151), features entertainers during dinner, then live bands for dancing from 9pm on. The Patio Lounge, in the Jacaranda, 1223 Periwinkle Way (tel. 239/472-1771), attracts an affluent crowd of middle-agers and seniors to its live music every evening. McT's Tavern, 1523 Periwinkle Way (tel. 239/472-3161), has darts, video games, and a large-screen TV for sports fans. Other popular sports bars are the Sanibel Grill, 703 Tarpon Bay Rd. (tel. 239/472-4453), and the two Lazy Flamingo branches, at 1036 Periwinkle Way (tel. 239/472-6939) and 6520-C Pine Ave. (tel. 239/472-5353).
