Sanibel Lighthouse Beach is named after the 100-year-old lighthouse that towers over it. This beach is great for families, picnics, swimming, and fishing from the pier. A nature trail leads from the pier to the island's wetlands, offering beautiful views and picture opportunities. Shelling is quite popular here, as the beach's strong currents leave beautiful treasures at the water's edge; it is for this reason that swimming is not recommended, but Sanibel's beauty is more than enough to attract plenty of beachgoers to its shore every year.
