    Sanibel Lighthouse is an iconic Florida landmark at the eastern tip of Sanibel Island, offering shore fishing access to the productive San Carlos Bay and Pine Island Sound inshore fishery for redfish, snook, sheepshead, and black drum. The combination of scenic lighthouse setting and excellent inshore fishing makes this one of Florida's most distinctive fishing locations. Spot Features: Sanibel Lighthouse is the historic lighthouse at the eastern tip of Sanibel Island in Lee County, Florida, adjacent to San Carlos Bay and Pine Island Sound, with the seagrass flats, mangrove edges, and jetty structure that concentrate diverse inshore species. Shore fishing from the lighthouse park and adjacent beach provides good access. Seasonality: Redfish (red drum) and snook are the primary year-round inshore species at Sanibel Lighthouse and the adjacent Pine Island Sound/San Carlos Bay, with redfish best in fall and snook most active in spring through early fall. Sheepshead concentrate around the lighthouse pilings in winter and spring. Black drum are a winter and spring species near hard structure.
