LOCATION

Despite it’s proximity to the coast it’s kind of a hassle to drive there. The roads to the island from I-75 are windy and not as simple as you’d think. Once on the island, you’ll be greeted with lots of traffic but it’s a beautiful drive.

BEACH

The beach is very nice and expansive. It’s a popular beach so it tends to be more crowded than other beaches in the area. That being said, there’s plenty of space to spread out and the sand is nice but Shelly. Those shells are one of the reasons this beach is so popular. Sanibel is known for is fantastic shelling and Bowman’s Beach is pretty good. The water clarity is always milky for some reason. Yet, just north of Captiva it becomes crystal-clear. Go figure!
