Sanibel Captiva Beach Lovers

This sandy sliver of paradise has innumerable spots to satisfy the most discriminating sun and sea worshippers. Sanibel Island's Gulf Boulevard has a wide array of beachfront lodging.
Just step outside of your room and you've landed on the No. 1 beach in the southeast U.S. Splash in the warm tranquil ocean, explore the beach for exotic shells, cool down with a refreshing umbrella libation, and embark on a sunset cruise to wind down your busy beach day.

If you care to venture beyond your resort's beckoning sea and sand, try Bowman's Beach, off Sanibel-Captiva Road. It has metered parking, restrooms, picnic tables, and showers. Causeway Islands, along Sanibel Causeway (SR 867) toward the mainland, has free parking lots, restrooms, picnic tables, and showers. Other beaches on Sanibel Island include Dixie Beach, Lighthouse Beach Park, Tarpon Bay Road Beach, and Gulfside City Park (AKA as Algiers Beach). Beaches in Captiva Island include Captiva Beach at the end of Captiva Drive and Turner Beach at Blind Pass, as you enter the island on the gulf side. A continuous beach runs along the six miles of the island's west coast, with several public access points.
