Traffic was awful, not even worth the beach.

Went there because I had heard so many good things about Sanibel. It’s great if you like crowds, traffic and expensive parking with a lack of dining and drinking options. Thanks to Robin at Billy’s Bike Rental we saved money with his knowledge of the area.

3/5 - Okay

There weren't any parking spaces and the traffic was terrible with people looking and waiting for a parking spot.

5/5 - Excellent

Be prepared for a lot of traffic. Worth it, though! Will want to stay on the island next time we're in Florida. Lots of quiet beaches perfect for shelling. Can rent bicycles and explore the island. Cute restaurants.

Park in the first lot you see!

We went to the lighthouse beach to watch the sunrise and look for shells. It's good to get there early to look for shells. Eastern end of the island so the best place to watch the sunrise!
