  • Boating and Sailing Charters
    From deep-sea fishing to light-tackle angling, the opportunities are endless for fishermen amateur to avid. Proficient captains and fishing guides conduct half-and full-day charters. If you're an experienced boater, you may prefer to rent your own craft from one of the islands' marinas. The Sanibel-Captiva Causeway, as well as the pier on the bayside of the lighthouse (open 24 hours a day) are both popular spots for surf casting. The Blind Pass Bridge is often lined with determined anglers. Tour boats and charter guides head for the upper islands for shelling, fishing, sunning and lunch, and they are recommended for first-timers without boating experience. More experienced sailors can rent a powerboat and set out on their own, equipped with a chart and a sense of adventure. Local guides are particularly helpful when it comes to fishing. They're out on the water daily, and they know the habits and feeding patterns of area fish and wildlife. Some specialize in fly fishing; others are knowledgeable about shelling, birding and local history. Licenses Fishing: Most residents and visitors must purchase licenses for fishing in salt or fresh water. You can purchase a license at The Bait Box on Periwinkle Way; at Bailey' Center at the corner of Tarpon Bay Road and Periwinkle Way; at Tarpon Bay Recreation; at Jensen's Marina; and at all the marinas. Rules and regulations on size and bag limits plus open and closed seasons change. Most bait stores distribute free lists published by the Florida Marine Fisheries Commission. You do not need a license if you are: under 16; over age 65 and a Florida resident; a Florida resident fishing in salt water from a dock, bridge, jetty, pier or other structure connected to land; or fishing from a boat covered by a Vessel Saltwater Fishing License. The Tax Collector's office and bait shops list criteria for residency.
  • Parks & Recreation
    If you ask most people what they do when they visit Sanibel Island, shelling at the beach is almost always at the top of their long list of exciting activities. There are also many delightful things to do "beyond the beach" that will provide your family with a fun way to learn about the islands and what makes them so special.
