If you're coming, take the LeeTran park and ride so that you don't have to deal with that. However, once you do get parked (and pay for your parking), this is an amazing spot at the northern tip of Estero Island. Much of the park remains a nature preserve but there are vending machines, bathroom structures, the bus stop of course and a beautiful flat sand beach with a view of Sanibel in the distance or the Gulf of Mexico. There are benches in some spots where you can sit and watch the nautical traffic go by. It's very peaceful. And don't forget to wear sunscreen! [Review 13357 overall, 675 of 2020.]

So happy to revisit the Sanibel Island Beach Lighthouse and see the Lighthouse…read more Some of the surrounding areas around the base of the Lighthouse are still restricted due to hurricane Ian damage. The beach is well maintained and there is public parking available.

When we parked nearby, the area surrounding the lighthouse was blocked off for construction. You could not get very close to the structure. We did get to walk a bit on the sandy beach that carries its name. It was quite busy on the weekend. The beach is maintained by the city and as mentioned is very popular. There's a lot with paid parking spaces. There are rest rooms and drinking fountains but not much more. The pier is closed since Hurricane Ian. So plan on sunning, swimming, and shelling if you come here.

There is a pay lot easily within walking distance. The beach is huge. Nice white sand. There are bars with music, food trucks and snack vendors all right at the beach. There are public bathrooms right by the free parking. There are places that rent chairs and umbrellas. But we brought our own. It's a great family beach. Perfect for walking or just playing in the sand or water. Some shells on the beach, if you are looking for a souvenir.

So there's sweet and fluffy reminiscing for that reason. Our first trip over 10 years ago, and we stayed at the Gullwing Resort. It is on the other of the beach, the quieter side, and it was a sweet looking condo. Fast forward over 10 years later, and it looks like Ft. Myers hasn't changed much. It is like they haven't done many updates, and I feel like we are on a beach set back in time. For example, the pier area and stores looks like back in the day. The parking and the surrounding buildings are unoccupied and abandoned. Kinda sad because parts of this beach are beautiful. I hope in time they do some updates to this area. I do love that there are actually beach bars right on the beach and that it is so laid back.

I took my son and his siblings to this beach for a fun day after the very stressful week we've had…read more It was my son's birthday. I had a douchebag approach us on a four wheeler demanding that we leave because dogs were not allowed. I apologized to the d!ckhead with a tiny c0ck on a four wheeler feeling tough, and I let him know that I didn't see the signs. He started smirking like a smug a$shole as if I was stupid and said that there were signs everywhere. He was completely focused on taking a picture of me and my family with the dog even after we were leaving, he circled back around to continue harassing us. He took all his energy and put it into our family having a puppy on the beach that we were making sure it did not leave any droppings anywhere, and we also leashed the dog, as asked. He chose to ignore a couple being inappropriate in front of children on the beach giving oral to each other and tongue kissing and making out in front of children and thinking that it was funny. He let this couple continue to be inappropriate on the beach the entire time you were out there and only chose to approach me for the dog. Do not go to this beach if you have a family, and definitely don't bring your dog. I feel like it was extremely rude because even after he approached me and I acknowledge what he said and told him that I honestly did not notice the signs, he got very sarcastic and acted like there was no excuse for my mistake and that I should have known that we shouldn't have brought our puppy along. Instead of my son having a nice birthday chill day on the beach, now he's describing the oral sex that he witnessed on the beach. F*** this beach, f*** that guy on the four wheeler, and he decided to try to educate me on a history of the beach not knowing that this beach was originally a safe place for black people. In the future, just don't be a d!ck in a four wheeler. Maybe stop people from licking privates on a family beach instead of worrying about the obedient puppy making a birthday boy smile.
