The Beach Experience

One of the attractions to Sanibel Island is the fabulous beaches. And what can you do on the beach you ask? Almost anything you can think of!

Here are some of the things I have seen people doing on the beach - walking the dog, flying a kite, sun bathing, reading, sleeping, talking on a cell phone, talking with friends, shelling, swimming, snorkeling, throwing a football, playing whiffle ball, tossing a ball with lacrosse sticks, fishing, building a sand castle, eating, teaching a child how to swim, tossing a frisbee, jogging, boogie boarding and listening to music. And of course, there are a few weird people who like to take photographs at the beach!

You can click on the picture above to see a slide show from a mid-afternoon walk and an early morning walk on the beach this week. The sights, sounds, smells and textures of the beach are captivating. But best of all, the beach allows you to experience it in your own way, at your own pace. The beach is a place you truly have to experience to believe.
