Bowman’s Beach, Sanibel Island
Crystal-clear waters and white sand covered in seashells. These are the things that Bowman’s Beach in Sanibel Island is recognized for. The shore is cradled in a secluded area, which means it guarantees a peaceful and fantastic seaside experience.
And while it’s isolated, you can find everything you need here, from well-maintained bathrooms to facilities and picnic areas. If you’re tired of swimming, go on the hunt for some elusive, perfectly shaped shells that can remind you of Bowman’s Beach when you get home.
Seashell collectors have long flocked to this stunning island that’s southwest of Fort Myers. Seashells from the Gulf of Mexico wash ashore here, attracting collectors from all around the world.
Spend your cool mornings curating your perfect stash of shells on Bowman’s Beach before laying down a towel and doing some people-watching under the warm sun.

Odd choices except maybe one or two.
ANA MARIE ISLAND
AMELIA ISLAND
SANIBEL while gorgeous, was trashed by the last storm.
No one should be visiting FL anyway. If you do, make sure you do not bring a book or the dictionary.
I have heard from a fellow visitor, the exact same response.
Please explain to me why people should not visit Florida? Why should visitors not bring a book or a dictionary?
No, Sanibel is not as beautiful as it was before the last devastating hurricane. However, there are still lots of things to do and experience on Sanibel Island. I have lived in FL for twenty-five years and have traveled to many places in Florida. Sanibel is both beautiful but also has a wonderful community spirit, beautiful beaches and welcoming people. I am certain that you would not like your state judged by one unpleasant experience.
Exactly. The Money from tourists is what keeps these places alive after a storm. If they stop coming the place can’t get back to what it was.
I Agree!
AGREED…………WAAAAAAAAAY TOO HUMID IN FLORIDA………..
And why is that? Just because yiu don’t want to go, doesn’t mean others dont.
I’m from Florida and I lived through hurricane Micheal people never talk about the storms when they happen and we need help but they use it as a reason to not visit. The areas here put a lot of money into getting it back to tourist ready and two years later they need the tourist dollars to continue fixing space back to what it can be and was.
Florida is the warmest most tropical state in America. I love tropical. Even in the wintertime its nice. I’m from Michigan and I despise the cold and the region. Whomever don’t like it stay where you are. But for me and my family this the only place for us! In life the main thing is to be where you want to be. Our choices are wide. My wife is Canadian. Which right now to me looks like a better country. But thats a otherchat. Lol
What about Siesta beach in Sarasota? It has some of the whitest sand in the world.

Just owesome!
All of these beaches in the world are beautiful to me because God created them and what he did was create in the beginning was good and very good.
Is there camping available for RV’s in the area?
Hi Lisa! Most of the state parks have an RV park in the area as well. Other than that, we recommend doing a quick Google search around the beach you’re planning to visit and you should be able to find something.
