Sanibel Island is a world-class fishing destination, offering sport fishing for Tarpon, Redfish, Grouper, Amberjack, Spanish Mackeral, and other assorted fish species. Sanibel lies along The Great Calusa Blueway, a 190-mile marked kayak trail through southwest Florida waterways and estuaries. Lovers Key State Park, a short drive away, is a group of four barrier islands. A haven for wildlife, the islands and their waters are home to West Indian manatees, bottlenose dolphins, roseate spoonbills, marsh rabbits, and bald eagles. The two mile long beach is accessible by boardwalk or tram and is popular for shelling, swimming, picnicking, and sunbathing. Koreshan State Historic Site, once a colony known as the Koreshan Unity which began in Estero in 1894, where today visitors can fish, picnic, boat, and hike, includes a boat ramp and full facility campground.
