Your Daily Beach Therapy from Ocean's Reach
Thanks to Captain Shawn Kelly (www.tarponsnookredfish.com) for taking us on this drive through Sanibel and Captiva islands.
His video was recorded just a week after Hurricane Irma passed by our area. It’s amazing to see how quickly the island community came together to clean up and restore our beautiful surroundings.
We couldn’t be more proud of everyone who’s worked so hard to make Sanibel “open for business” » Read more
Sending you the warmest of greetings from everyone at Ocean’s Reach!
As many of you know, we re-opened our doors on September 19th, just as soon as we could after power was restored post-Irma. We were blessed to have had a relatively mild impact from the storm, and our hearts and prayers continue to go out to those who took the brunt of Irma’s wrath.
Thank you once again for the hundreds of well wishes you’ve sent our way. » Read more

Hurricane Irma has passed and Ocean’s Reach weathered the storm very well.
Andy had a chance to check the complex and reported that, aside from some debris and one downed tree, it appears that we “escaped the big bullet.” There has been no damage to the buildings and the beach for our section of the island looks fine.
Sanibel Island is currently without water and electricity, and authorities are working on fixing several downed power lines. » Read more
As Hurricane Irma moves closer to the State of Florida, Ocean’s Reach is diligently monitoring the storm, making necessary preparations and accommodating guests to the best of our ability.
We do not know what direct impacts the storm may have on Southwest Florida.
We will be suspending our daily blog until the middle of next week. In the meantime, please join us in sending prayers and heartfelt wishes to all who will be impacted by this catastrophic storm. » Read more

A wonderful bird is the Pelican.
His bill can hold more than his belican.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week,
But I’m damned if I see how the helican.
