About
Sanibel: Gulfside City Park is a public beach access point in Florida, part of Gulfside Beach Park and about 3 miles from the town of Sanibel. It's a straightforward stop for a day at the shore, with restrooms and parking on site. A fee is charged, and dogs are allowed, so it works for visitors bringing a pet along. Winter and early spring are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 75°F with lows near 54°F, while summer brings highs near 92°F and rain on about 18 days a month in July and August. For a change from the sand, the Indigo Trail is about 5 miles away, and the Mangrove Loop is roughly 8 miles off.
