Sanibel Lighthouse


Sanibel is a barrier island off the coast of southwest Florida.  There has been a lighthouse at
the eastern end since 1884.  The Coast Guard electrified it in 1962.
In 2010 the lighthouse was transferred
to the City of Sanibel.

    What beautiful white sands and temperatures to go with it (judging by the people relaxing on the beach). Nice old lighthouse too!

    Lighthouses ae a real draw for me. Love the different sizes and shapes. One quite close to us on Lake Superior, Split Rock is a favorite.

    That lighthouse is a great place for a lookout. Love the sandy beach.

    I like it! Sanibel is also a great beach for finding all kinds of wonderful sea shells.

    Very different from what you'd think of in terms of lighthouses!

    Such white sand - and an interesting lighthouse, not as solid looking as some but I guess it does the job.

    Aaaah! Love Sanibel. You were a short walk from where I recuperated from cancer surgery last winter. (Not a bad place for R & R.)
