"Lots of fun and a dolphin"

We found some wonderful shells on the beach.  But the water is where we had all the fun. Watching the fish and looking for sea stars. And in the middle of the fun my daughter screams, "Shark!"  After a few panicked moments, we were overjoyed to see that a dolphin had decided to swim nearby. It stayed within 30 ft of us the entire time we were there. My daughter and I had the most fun just watching the dolphin. Some of our favorite photos are from the day we spent here.

"Fun with the Family"

Sanibel’s beaches are maintained in a natural, low-impact state, meaning little development and facilities. This one is the most family accommodating with its nature trail,  fishing pier, and historic site—the circa-1884 Sanibel lighthouse. The beach wraps  around the island’s south end to front both the Gulf and bay. Swimming is treacherous near the pass.
