Lighthouse Park Beach

Located on Sanibel Island's southern tip. In 1884, the lighthouse was built, and this quaint area became the center of island activity. This is a true family beach, with good shelling, a clear view of the Gulf and plenty of large shade trees. You can enjoy a picnic, strolling on the beach, swimming in the ocean, fishing from the pier, sailing or windsurfing. Parking is available for $2 an hour. Around the corner from the beach and just beyond the restrooms is a smaller beach with a view of the Sanibel Causeway. Courtesy beach wheelchairs provided upon 24-hour notice to City of Sanibel Police Department Dispatch, 239-472-3111. Based on availability.
