Ruby Tuesday!
Parking at the Sanibel Lighthouse Beach
Sanibel Island, Florida
June, 2008

If you are going to Sanibel and you want to get onto the beach sooner rather than later, the Lighthouse Beach is your best bet.  This is because aside from the causeway beaches, which really aren’t ON the island, the Lighthouse Beach is the closest once you have gotten over the causeway. 

Once you get on the island, you will find yourself approaching a 4-way stop.  Make a left at the stop and follow the road down a mile or so until you see this sign.  Now you have a decision to make.  You can turn left and park at the fishing pier, or you can continue straight to park further down the beach from the pier.  Either way, I always enjoy my time at the Lighthouse Beach on Sanibel Island, and I’m happy there is a RED sign so I could use a photo of it for Ruby Tuesday!

    It felt like being given directions and actually being there in Florida, right there with you!!
    I have been in Florida once, doing the obvious things like Sea world, and Disney, Epcot and Universal, but I’ve never been to the beach there!

    Dear Tink, I have a very special token of friendship on my blog for you! Please drop by to collect it!

    You think they are trying to get your attention with this loud, garish, RED sign? It got mine. The $2 per hour is quite reasonable, as it is $10 to park at Barnstable (Cape Cod) beaches for the whole day. If you stay for 2 hours (like I’d prefer) you only pay $4.

    Nice beach entrance, even with the loud red sign!

    I hope to visit Sanibel Island in the near future. I hear it’s beautiful and a great place to collect shells.

    I love lighthouses! Sounds like this is a very popular spot and the officials are leaving nothing to chance!!!

    Happy Ruby Tuesday! Hugs, G

    Now I´m waiting for the beach pics. What it looks like after parking?
    Pay and display car park, it somehow sounds so funny! Pay to display your car…

    the red sign fits perfectly among the green of the trees and the blue of the sky.
