Lighthouse Beach Park
beach★ 4.6 (7,371)
Lighthouse Beach Park pairs the Sanibel Island Lighthouse with two waterfront experiences: swimming and shelling on the Gulf side, then kayaking or paddleboarding on the bay side. Nature trails and a boardwalk through the mangroves add another change of pace from the sand.
Best time to go
Allow daylight for the mangrove boardwalk; the beach park itself is open 24 hours.
Local tip
Choose the Gulf side for shelling or the bay side for kayaking and paddleboarding.
