Lighthouse Beach Park

The facilities for this place aren’t the best due to reconstruction from the hurricane. There are only Porta Potties around the beach. However, the parking is the standard 5/hr and is right on the beach front. This beach is amazing for people who love to collect shells, the collection on the beach itself was fantastic. The water was very moderate in temperature, and there are sandbars so the water is very shallow and is perfect for little kiddos.

Beautiful beach near the Sanibel lighthouse. Unfortunately, the damage caused by Hurricane Ian in 2022 is still visible. Parking very expensive. 10.00 $ per hour. Constant control. Payment only possible via machine and credit card. There is also a toll of $6.00 to drive from the mainland over the bridge to Sanibel. This somewhat spoils the beach visit.

This place was nicer before Hurricane Ian and will be nice again when the repairs are completed. Like the rest of Sanibel, this place was hit very hard. We don't get over here often, even though we're not that far - because $6 for the causeway and $5/hrs to park makes it not worth it. Apparently the locals prefer we don't come at all. Happy to oblige most of the time.
