It was a perfect mix of beach vibes, great food, and laid-back atmosphere. The setting alone is worth it—near the water with breezy open seating, and that relaxed island energy.
The fish and chips were perfectly golden, crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The coconut shrimp had a light, crispy coating with just the right amount of sweetness, paired with a tangy dipping sauce that balances it out beautifully.
Service is friendly and unhurried, which matches the island setting perfectly. Grab a cold drink, pick something to snack on, and enjoy the ocean breeze.
Only thing to watch out for is the unavoidable Ceratopogonidae aka no-see-ums. Make sure to use insect repellent or wear long sleeves.

The bar is on a condo property. They serve typically bar food of average quality. Can’t recommend the place.

Felt like a pool snack bar but it is actually more than that. Full service bar and prepared food. Bartender was pleasant. It is outside so don't expect AC.

Best beach bar on Sanibel! Drinks are perfect balance—not too sweet, and great price compared to other beach bars nearby. Food is good too for a beach lunch!

Happy to see Island Time back! We had great service and yummy drinks. Mikey G and Cass-erole behind the bar were very knowledgeable, friendly and down to earth. You should visit just to meet them! The grounds around the property are also back & beautiful. We talked with the GM of the restaurants on property, Andrew for a while. Can’t forget the bartender at Dante’s, Shoobbert ⭐️. So nice to have people who care about their establishment, strive for good food/beverage and are relatable to their customers. Also just steps off the beach, so a place we visit every time in town. Recommend enjoying a beverage and anything off the menu. *And kid friendly

Typical tiki bar and restaurant with outside seating. Food was very well prepared and service was friendly.

We did not eat here, but the drinks were amazing! Beautiful views, Cassidy was a great bartender. All the staff were friendly.
Sarah Collings
So glad they are back! Mahi Mahi tacos were amazing as well as the cubano sandwich. Refreshing drinks too. Highly recommended.
Beach bar opened again at the pool / beach side at Sanibel Inn. They have a big food menu now.

TinyBlondeKelly put it well. I don't need to expand on her words. I had the good fortunate of visiting last week after missing this magical place post the hurricane damage. The tiki bar is back and better than ever. The food was great and the drinks way to delicious. But, what made it was the service. You felt like they were there just to take care of you. I highly recommend!!!!

Heard the tiki bar reopened and had to check it out for myself. I walked over from the beach and I am pleased to report that it is AWESOME! The setup is almost identical to what it was before Ian, but better. Bobby, Krystal, and Jaycell were so kind. They were very busy but you can tell they’re invested. They made phenomenal drink recommendations and the food was better than what I remember. I used to love their quesadillas and that’s what I got this time, and it was so good. The prices are very affordable compared to other places on the island. The bocce ball court is no longer there, however they mentioned that they would be bringing back live music. I am so excited that the tiki bar is back and I highly recommend stopping by for one of their awesome new drinks when you get a chance.
