Getting Here is easy. (See map below for driving times from airports around Florida). Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is only about an hour from the islands.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS:
Go to Exit 131 from I-75. (If coming from RSW Airport, TURN RIGHT on Treeline Road and take that to Daniels. TURN LEFT on Daniels). Continue west on Exit 131 (Daniels Road) until you come to a stoplight for Six Mile Cypress; there's a shopping center and Publix grocery to the left. TURN LEFT onto Six Mile Cypress. You'll curve past the Lee County Sports Complex and cross US-41. Once you cross US-41, you're now on Gladiolus. When you pass Denny's Diner, move to the left lanes. TURN LEFT onto Summerlin Road. This will take you all the way to the Sanibel Causeway.

Views from the Sanibel Causeway are spectacular!

THE CAUSEWAY:
Have the $6 toll handy. Don't be in a hurry on the Sanibel causeway; speed limits are LOW and the scenery is some of the best in the world. This is a great place to take a stretch if you've been in the car a while. There are restrooms on one of the causeway islands.
