Periwinkle Place is a 41,240 sq. ft shopping oasis located on Sanibel's bustling Periwinkle Way. This shopping center has been recognized by the Lee County Visitors and Convention Bureau as both Sanibel's top shopping destination and one of the top attractions in Lee County. With twenty-five unique shops, including the Original Chico's, the award-winning Blue Giraffe Restaurant, and the relaxing Sanibel Day Spa, Periwinkle Place offers something for everyone. Covered boardwalks, lush landscaping, two tropical fountains, a children's play area, and a butterfly garden create a charming, relaxing atmosphere that makes Periwinkle Place Sanibel's most enchanting shopping center. While some storefronts are currently vacant, the plaza's grounds are well-maintained, and the parking is plentiful. Visitors can enjoy a variety of women's clothing stores, children's shops, eateries, and a souvenir shop. The clothing stores, though not high-end, offer a tasteful, Sanibel-style selection, from minimalist to vibrant tropical designs. Highlights include the Naples Soap Company, known for its amazing fragrances and cloud-like slippers, and Pinocchio's ice cream, a must-try.
