2018 Map of Sanibel

About this map

Tarpon Bay and the internal waterways of Sanibel define this barrier island landscape in 2018. The map illustrates a developed coastline where residential grids like those at Dixie Beach and Ybel are integrated with the natural geography of the Gulf of Mexico. Historical sites such as the Gulfside Park Historic Cem provide a point of reference for the island's earlier eras, while the Sanibel Island Causeway provides the primary link across San Carlos Bay to the mainland. The intricate network of bays and points, including Woodrings Point and Knapps Point, showcases the complex interaction between land and water. To the north, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through Pine Island Sound, passing by the Sister Keys and the southern tip of Pine Island.
