1700 Bowmans Beach RdThe Sanibel Island Lighthouse (or Point Ybel Light) was one of the first lighthouses on Florida's Gulf coast north of Key West and the Dry Tortugas. The 98-foot high light was first lit on August 20, 1884 and is now a historic place and park. The park consists of 32 acres with public beaches, parking, bike racks, picnic areas, pavilions, fishing pier, restrooms and more. Fun place for a picnic and pictures with the lighthouse as a cool backdrop. Also a great place to fish from the pier. Located at the extreme east end of the Island, so it’s another great destination.
