I haven't been there recently, but I used to go to Sanibel/Captiva Island almost every weekend when I lived in Miami. Are you looking for general info or what? Sanibel had been known as having one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, at one time it was in the top 10... silky sand and the most unbelieveable shells you've ever seen. The shells roll in constantly from the gulf .. you see people 'shelling' on the beach at all hours, especially at low tide. Very peaceful. I loved it. Lots of clean little 'mom and pop' motels .. up to the big chain hotels. My favorite beach city on Fla's west coast.
Sarasota .. Home of the Circus .. Barnum and Bailey? Trim little town.
Tarpon Springs .. big Greek settlement/influence. Lots of sponge items from the sponge fishermen.
Naples .. great Ritz-Carlton.
