Island Escapes…The Virtual Kind! 🌴☀️

Being home has us all looking for online entertainment, spending countless hours on Zoom calls both during and outside of work, and daydreaming about our next island-centric vacation. As you dream and plan about your next SWFL escape, here are some cool virtual experiences to make the waiting a little less painful!

The SWFL tourism community misses the action and sharing the beauty of our area with our visitors, in fact, that’s what we live for! And that’s why many local businesses have found ways to share the beauty of our beaches and communities with everyone stuck at home.

Our friend Nicks Adams, a local photographer decided to fly his drone over Sanibel and Captiva Islands to share the beauty of the beaches and its surrounding community by doing these awesome narrated tours. As you virtually soar with Nick, take note as you won’t wanna miss these gorgeous views next time you visit. #wishlist.

When the going gets tough, sailors get going! The founders and owners of Offshore Sailing School are right alongside us all working from home and filming sailing stories from their dock. These dockside stories will be featured in their 2021 memoirs. New episodes premiere every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on the company’s Facebook page, #DocksideChatswithSteve.

Offshore Sailing School is also offering a special code to access their Online Learn to Sail Course for FREE! You can find more information on their Facebook page as well!

We know, your spouse, pets, kids, and roommates are boring at this point in quarantine…but there’s still plenty of world (an island!) to see in unique ways that technology allows.
