What Is The Best Beach On Sanibel Island?

Gather your beach accessories and swimsuit, and make your way to the beach when you are vacationing on Sanibel Island. These are some of the most popular beaches to enjoy the afternoon on Sanibel Island.

  • Bowman’s Beach: One of the main reasons why Bowman’s Beach is one of the best beaches on Sanibel Island is the fantastic shelling. You will find more than a few gorgeous shells to take home. If you are traveling to Sanibel Island with your family, shelling is a really fun activity. Furthermore, there are plenty of parking spaces, toilets, outdoor showers, picnic tables, barbecues, and changing rooms. 
  • Lighthouse Beach: Lighthouse touring is a popular activity for many on vacation, and Sanibel Island has an interesting one with a wonderful beach, too. The lighthouse is still functioning. It’s a narrow beach, and there is a delightful boardwalk nature trail through the wetlands. However, this is one of the more private beaches for couples looking for a romantic sunset date.
  • Captiva Beach: This is the most popular beach on Captiva Island. It’s a busy beach with limited parking. But once you get to the beach, you will see why it is a popular spot. The pearly white sands dissolve into the sky-blue Gulf of Mexico waves, unlike other area beaches. If you can find a good spot to lie down, consider staying there into the evening, as it is the best place to see the sunset.
  • Tarpon Bay Road Beach: It’s a bit of a walk to get to Tarpon Bay Road Beach, but the walk is well worth it. Especially if you are interested in Florida’s marine life. This is a spectacular beach for birdwatching and seeing turtle nests. In addition, this is an ideal place for shelling and swimming, and it is not very crowded.
