Fodor's Expert Review Gulfside Park Preserve
Sanibel and Captiva Islands
Beach
Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.
The beach is quiet, safe from strong currents, and good for solitude, bird-watching, and shell-finding. There are restrooms, and long stretches to stroll. The white sand is slightly coarse and borders a park with shade, picnic tables, and a loop nature trail. Low-rise resorts and homes lie to the east and west of the parking lot accesses. Amenities: parking (fee); toilets. Best for: swimming; walking.
