Create an itinerary including Sanibel Causeway

Spanning the San Carlos Bay, Sanibel Causeway connects Sanibel Island to Florida's mainland at Fort Myers. Newly rebuilt in 2007, the bridge is accessible to both cars and bicycles. The 4.5-km (2.8-mi) drive across offers unmatched views of the bay, with opportunities to pull over and snap photos periodically. Two man-made islands connect the three separate bridges making up the causeway. Stop at one of the islands for a quiet place to have a picnic.

Heartbreaking Destruction due to Hurricane Ian before & after the causeway, but the causeway itself is a triumph in engineering offering great views.

Been here several times. The causeway is free.. which is a positive. Not as good findings of shells as actually going to Sanibel but not bad. Clean, not crowded and a beautiful sunset almost every night.

We love this place. It is only $6 and one of the few "bus friendly" places that is near the water. A great place to spend the day or just for some Sundowners. It does get a bit crowded around sunset, but it is worth it.
