Best Bath Houses in Sanibel Island

"Five onsite swimming pools, three restaurants, suites with full kitchens (and one, two or three bedrooms) and kids’ activities like tie-dying, poolside bingo and shell-painting ensure there’s little reason to ever leave Sundial Beach Resort & Spa. Kids love playing beach volleyball between dips in the Gulf of Mexico in the hotel’s front yard. And the onsite Sanibel Sea School offers half- and full-day courses that give them a hands-on experience in Sanibel’s diverse ecosystems."

"Located in the narrow central part of Captiva Island, 'Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa has the ambience of "old Florida" hospitality. The 13-acre property faces the water on both sides, with a private beach to the west and a marina on Pine Island Sound to the west. The marina is available for guests' private craft and also offers rentals, as well as guided eco-adventures."

"Owned by the same company as Beachview Cottages and Castaways Cottages (two of our favorite Sanibel Island vacation rentals), ‘Tween Waters is located just across the bridge on Captiva Island. But its awesome amenities and empty beaches are worth driving a few extra miles. There’s a marina where you can rent boats or hire a fishing charter, as well as a full-service spa."

"This 32-acre park houses a lighthouse that dates to 1884 and some of the best Sanibel Island beaches. Lighthouse Beach Park offers plenty of space to spread out and walk and look for shells in Sanibel Island. Other activities include picnicking, pier fishing, sailing and windsurfing."

"Set on the island’s eastern edge, the Sanibel Lighthouse operated between 1884 and 1972. Today, it’s one of the top and most popular attractions on Sanibel Island. Standing at 112 feet, this lighthouse is a sight to behold."

"A beautiful beach with stunning white sands, Gulfside City Park offers both grassy and sandy areas for visitors to spend some time and listen to the waves. This beach, despite being located on a highly popular touristic island, never gets too crowded, so it's a nice spot to visit if you're looking for a little peace and quiet. Restrooms and showers can be found here, and there are also picnic areas and even grills open for public use, so it's a super spot to visit on a sunny weekend or special occasion."

"Located on the island's south coast, Gulfside City Park (mysanibel.com) spans 27.5 acres on the Gulf of Mexico shoreline and provides public beach access. Bring a picnic lunch to the park for a mid-day meal at one of the on-site picnic tables at Gulfside Park. Outside showers are available to rinse off after a day in the sand, and bike racks are open for those who choose to pedal to the beach."

"At Gulfside City Park, you’ll find a long stretch of white sand that stretches to the shoreline. This makes it one of the best beaches on Sanibel Island for families!. Found on Algiers Lane off of Casa Ybel Road, Gulfside City Park also goes by Algiers Beach."

"Crescent Beach Family Park is actually a little sliver of Fort Myers Beach just south of the Fort Myers fishing pier. But this this section of shoreline is distinguished from the remaining seven miles, because it’s typically where many families hang out – as the name of the park implies. It’s one of the public beaches Fort Myers has that are super family-friendly."

"One of the most under-the-radar places to watch the sunset in Ft Myers Beach is Crescent Beach Family Park. This little slice of land is often overlooked for the larger beaches in the area, including Fort Myers Beach and Bowditch Point Park. That said, Crescent Beach Family Park is still worth a visit."
