SANIBEL LIGHTHOUSE BEACH WITH PAUL AND JANET

This small beach in Sanibel is bordered by small trees and coconut palms, and is usually quiet and peaceful during weekdays. It faces West, so we get natural shade in the afternoon and can enjoy the seabird, porpoises and the abundant fish in the water that they feed on.

We brought chairs and folding tables and had a snack at the beach while watching quite a show by the pelicans diving in formation at the boiling sea full of fish.

Our beach looks towards the high bridge to Fort Myers Beach and is within a short walk of the historic Sanibel lighthouse built in 1884. Nearby is the historic site of the fishing camp operated by Cuban fishermen from the1690's until the late 1890's.
