The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge protects one of the largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystems in the United States. Its scenic Wildlife Drive winds through tidal flats and mangrove forest teeming with roseate spoonbills, herons, egrets, alligators and migratory birds.
Explore by car, bike or kayak — the slower you go, the more you’ll see. It’s a must for birdwatchers and anyone wanting to experience Sanibel’s wild side.
