Sanibel Island

Sightseeing

The lighthouse beach is a beautiful place to watch a sunrise or collect shells during low tide. The beached driftwood provides a great backdrop for taking photos. There is a fee to park (~$5/hr) and it gets very busy on weekends so we would recommend a weekday visit. Make sure to walk around the entire point of the island so you don't miss any beautiful vistas!
