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
Scoops Ice Cream Shoppe, Captiva
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:(
Latte Da coffee & ice cream shop
Latte da is known for serving the locally famous and excellent Queenie's home made ice cream. Located at the historic Captiva Island Inn on Andy Rosse Lane, Captiva. Check out the amazing story of how a local island resident, Queenie started Queenie's Ice cream here. Queenie's ice cream is absolutely delicious and has to be included in the top Sanibel, Captiva Ice Cream Spots. It's so good in fact, that many of the local restaurants use Queenie's as their ice cream of choice.... Mmmmm must be good:)Latte Da address: 11508 Andy Rosse Lane Captiva, FL 33924 239-472-0234
