Sanibel voted among best 20 beaches in national magazine

By Staff | Jun 30, 2009

Congratulations neighbor! Sanibel Island recently received accolades as the Best Family Beach on the Gulf Coast in “Men’s Journal” magazine’s Best 20 Beaches in America.

The description read: “Linked by a causeway to Fort Myers, this sedate, scimitar-shaped barrier island is anchored on the east by Lighthouse Beach, a long stretch of creamy sand backed by a park and its historic 1884 beacon. The water here is warm, calm and shallow, making it ideal for kids; the beach is perfect for sandcastles and is loaded with shells, especially when low tide exposes its offshore sandbars. A national wildlife refuge protects a substantial share of Sanibel, guaranteeing a constant air show by squadrons of brown pelicans; the daily aquacade by pods of bottlenose dolphins is an unexpected bonus.”
