Step outside and cross the street to your beach access, where tranquil beach walks and legendary shelling await. A bike and pedestrian path runs directly in front of the home, connecting you to Sanibel’s 25+ miles of paved shared-use trails, stretching from Lighthouse Beach to Blind Pass and winding through the world-renowned J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The rear of the property backs up to the Erick Lindblad Preserve lands, ensuring lasting privacy.
