COASTE |TREASURES
3. Among the many treasures of Sanibel and Captiva are the remarkable people who’ve lived here and helped build our communities — as well as Southwest Florida — into a remarkable place to live and play. Take a walk into Cip’s Place and turn right — there, on the wall, is our third treasure, a unique mural. The Bailey brothers are there, as is our famous weather personality, Willard Scott. See how many you can identify! 4. It’s one of the most famous treasures of Sanibel Island — the Sanibel Lighthouse, shining brightly now for more than a century. While you can’t climb it, the lighthouse area is open to the public and you can always grab a picture of it up close and personal, as COASTE has here directly underneath the structure. 5. Alligators tend to come with the territory of Southwest Florida. As a barrier island, Sanibel’s policy toward alligator safety is to relocate whenever possible — making them a relatively “treasured” species here. So admire our great outdoors, but be sure to keep a safe distance if you happen to spot one of these guys around our many lakes, bayous and waterways. Cip’s Place Sanibel Lighthouse Gators
