Biking

Sanibel Island has over 25 miles of well-maintained bicycle paths across the island. These wonderful paths bring you to deserted beaches, island restaurants, shopping and directly to local points of interest.

We think that the best bicycle path is Wildlife Drive in the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. It's a five-mile loop that begins at the entrance to the Refuge on Sanibel-Captiva Road. Along the way, you'll see loads of birds, native plants and maybe even an alligator or two! Wildlife Drive is open to cyclists from sunrise to sunset every day except Friday. There is a $1 fee per cyclist.
