Temperatures on Sanibel Island in April are just about perfect.
It is warm, sunny and bugless, with little rain and no real storms. In fact, April has the least amount of rain of all 12 months of the year with an average of only 1.1 inches.
As point of comparison, August has 9.7 inches. (but keep in mind most of the rain in Sanibel in summer comes late afternoon and through the evening, days are generally hot and sunny!)
In addition, in April the Gulf is warming up, the crowds are leaving.
Air prices are coming down and nature is coming back.
Best of all, the month of April, while bringing few to no showers, does bring an opportunity to create beautiful May flowers. No, not those planted in the ground, but those painted on canvas.
The Sanibel Captiva Art League offers 'paint-outs' all year long. So wanna be, aspiring and even seasoned artists can join together and paint outdoors, creating flowers or the scenes before them. Every Thursday throughout the season starting at 9AM -the group meets to 'paint out' and has lunch at different locations on the island with a brown bag lunch each painter brings with them. According to the group, visitors are most welcome. Car pooling is encouraged due to limited parking spaces in many of the locations.
The April 'paint outs' are as follows:
April 2 Casa Ybel Resort
April 9 SCCF Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation
April 16 Tarpon Bay Marin
April 23 Gramma Dots Caf� and Marina
April 30 Castaways Cottages
The Chairperson for the April paint outs is Randon Eddy who can be reached at 239. 395. 4518.
