Sanibel Island - The Sunset Grill

Sunset Grill on Sanibel Island

According to popular consensus, breakfast on Sanibel Island is a locked topic.  The jury is in.  You've got three options to choose from, a trio of Cafe's.  The Lighthouse Cafe, the Sanibel Cafe, and the Over Easy Cafe.

Today I'm going to buck the trend, defy convention, shock my readers, and head to a breakfast spot on Sanibel which exists outside the holy trinity of bacon and eggs.  Today I drive to Santiva, the small community where Sanibel meets Captiva, and take my sunrise chances at the Sunset Grill.

Captiva Island - The Mucky Duck

The Mucky Duck on Captiva

At the heart of Captiva Island lies a bustling town square of sorts called Captiva Village.  Home to quaint boutiques, colorful art galleries, al fresco dining, and a picturesque chapel...this is where the true community character of the island shines.  This is where quirky meets chic.  Where cheap tourists with sunburnt children bump up against the insane wealth of Captiva homeowners.

Smack dab in the middle of Captiva Village runs Andy Rosse Lane.  This road runs the full width of Captiva Island, from the bay to the Gulf of Mexico, and acts as the epicenter of activity in the Village.  It's laid-back.  It's vibrant.  It's tropical.  It smells like fresh air, and salt water, and suntan lotion.  This is the type of place vacation fantasies are made of.

Our focus today is the Mucky Duck, a destination restaurant located at the sunset end of Andy Rosse Lane.
