The Sanibel Causeway, a vital link to Sanibel and Captiva Islands, has fully reopened following extensive repairs after Hurricane Ian’s devastation in 2022. Completed in December 2023, the causeway’s restoration, fortified with deep sheet piles and granite armor stones, ensures resilience against future storms. The Causeway Islands Park beaches also reopened on May 1, 2025, nearly two years ahead of schedule, offering free parking and portable amenities.
Benefits for Southwest Florida
The causeway’s reopening is a game-changer for the region’s economy and tourism. It restores seamless access to Sanibel’s pristine beaches, renowned shelling, and attractions like the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, drawing visitors worldwide. Local businesses, from restaurants to shops, are seeing renewed foot traffic, with 50% of commercial spaces already operational. The causeway’s enhanced design promises reliable access, boosting confidence for residents and tourists alike.
