For a taste of history, visit the Sanibel Lighthouse, one of the first lighthouses built on the Gulf Coast! On the east tip of Sanibel Island, you can learn a lot about the history of Sanibel and Fort Myers, Florida! Built after the Civil War, the Lighthouse provided guidance for ships that would have crashed. Also increasing trade in the area, the Lighthouse survived hurricanes, erosions, and recessions before being acquired by the city. Unique with its iron skeleton frame, keepers used to climb 127 steps up a spiral staircase to reach the top at 98 feet. Take a tour of the area to learn more about the history of the Lighthouse! Unfortunately, visitors are not permitted to climb the steps due to its dangerous nature. Afterward, visit some of the prettiest beaches in Florida that surround the Sanibel Lighthouse. The perfect backdrop for a romantic interlude, get ready to do the “Sanibel slouch” as you look for shells on the beach! Parking is $5 - $8 an hour, but if you don’t want to pay, take the five mile bike path to the Lighthouse on Periwinkle Street.

Admittedly not something to look at in awe, the history of the lighthouse and it's significance to Sanibel Island, make it worth going to and reading the plaque at the base.
