About this map

Tarpon Bay and the shallow inlets of Sanibel Island characterize this coastal Lee County landscape, where the Gulf of Mexico meets a complex network of barrier islands and mangrove-lined sounds. The settlement of Sanibel is defined by its transit corridors, including the Sanibel-Captiva Rd and the Sanibel Island Causeway, which connects the island to the mainland across San Carlos Bay.

Local history is anchored by the Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church and its accompanying cemetery, while the Gulfside Park Historic Cem near Knapps Point preserves a record of early island inhabitants. Modern recreation is represented by the extensive Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl and various land-based paths like the Indigo Trl, reflecting the area's transition into a major center for environmental conservation and tourism near Point Ybel.
