Love Boat

Love boat Ice cream is without a doubt the most famous ice cream in the area. Although it is fairly new to the island it has been an institution at its original location on San Carlos Blvd, Fort Myers since 1967. The original building is a single story building with architecture that matches the inception date but don't be fooled by its looks, this ice cream shop is incredibly popular by tourists and locals alike. My personal fave is the banana split. They have over 50 flavors of homemade ice-cream. You can also get sundaes, shakes and sorbets. When mentioning top Sanibel, Captiva ice cream spots  you cannot forget Love Boat. We are truly blessed to have a location on the island now. Thinking about it, I can't believe they didn't do it years ago!Tie in a trip to Love Boat Ice Cream with a trip to the grocery store. Jerry's Foods is right next door which is one of the two main grocery stores on the Islands, (the other being Bailey's). Jerry's is a great spot for the kids, there are several large bird cages that house exotic birds. You can get your ice cream and enjoy it alfresco amongst the birds and lush tropical greenery.There are several other shops in the plaza including a restaurant in Jerry's, a fantastic kids clothing store called Nanny's and gift stores.Love Boat Address: 1700 Periwinkle Way, Unit #9. Sanibel Island, FL 33957

Fortunately if you are staying at South Seas Island Resort you have access to one of the coolest candy/ice cream/milkshake/pizza stores in the nation! no joke, it's a kids haven! Hundreds of types of candy on the walls,  a well stocked ice cream cooler, old fashioned soda dispensers, all set in a vibrant multicolored 50's diner type setting. This place is so cool I have even taken brides in for a photo shoot. The only downside: if you are not staying at South Seas  you won't be able to use it:(
