The Sanibel Causeway Beaches



When you leave the Florida mainland to drive across the Sanibel Causeway you will get your first breathtaking views of the Island of Sanibel. The Sanibel Causeway beaches are three manmade beaches along the three-mile stretch. They are great places to stop for a picnic and you will probably see windsurfers out.
Usually bustling with activity, seeing people on the causeway beaches always excites me because they signal the release of stress and the beginning of the island easiness that permeates Sanibel. Even though the causeway boat traffic is near, the causeway beaches have shallow water that is great for kids to play in without fear of heavy currents.

Dolphins and manatees can also be spotted playing and searching for food in the bay, and you will often see fishermen casting their nets along the beach trying to catch live bait. You can pull your car right off the causeway up to the beach, and there is no fee.
