Directions: Right on Periwinkle Way, left on Tarpon Bay Road. D) Bowman's Beach: This beach is probably one of the most popular beaches on the island. Medium sand quality; but great shelling. There is a bit of a hike to the beach from your car. It's kind of isolated, but that's what's great about it. Amenities include picnic tables, pay phone, bathrooms and bike racks. Directions: Right on Periwinkle Way, left on Tarpon Bay Road. Turn right, head north to Sanibel-Captiva Road. From this road turn left to Bowman Beach Road. E) Turner Beach, Captiva: This
beach is just past the bridge to Captiva. A great place for sunsets and romantics. This
area has great fishing form the beach and the rock jetty. Swimmers should stay away from
the bridge area. The water gets deep quickly and there can be a strong undertow. So stay
away from the strong currents and move farther down the beach. The sand quality is
good. There are bars and restaurants nearby across the street. Directions:
Right on Periwinkle Way, left on Sanibel-Captiva road to Blind Pass. F) Sanibel Causeway Beaches: This is a very long, thin stretch of beach starts just before the toll gate and continues along the causeway. It's fun to watch the windsurfers, boats and dolphins, but don't expect a nice, soft beach to sit on. Take A chair. Water's shallow. Fishing's good. Bathrooms are available. The best part is the free parking. Park wherever you want. A no-hassles beach not under Sanbel jurisdiction.
