Sanibel Island Tour Sanibel Island Lighthouse Tour Sanibel Island Lighthouse is an active aid to navigation for the U.S. Coast Guard. The former keeper's dwelling is now used as housing for National Wildlife Refuge employees. Please respect their privacy by not trespassing on the property. No tours are offered of the lighthouse, but I hope that this web tour will give you a better appreciation of what's there. Sorry, I haven't been inside this lighthouse, so the tour is of th exterior only.

I visited Sanibel Island Light and took these pictures in 1986. Viewed from the water, Sanibel Island Light is partially hidden by the trees. The beaches here, as on most of the west coast of Florida, are so white they almost hurt the eyes. The grounds of the lighthouse are in a park, so you can wonder through the grounds. Only the fenced areas around the dwellings are closed to the public.
