The Sanibel Lighthouse and beach area. PROVIDED

City of Sanibel Department of Natural Resources has identified areas near the Sanibel Lighthouse that will receive additional sand in response to erosion from recent weather events. Permits have already been acquired for more substantial renourishment at Lighthouse Beach Park to occur in the Fall of 2024. Fortunately, contractors are able to begin the project to restore the berm before sea turtle nesting season begins in May.

Beginning Monday, April 22 all Lighthouse Beach Park parking lots will be closed for contractors to replenish the berm at the lighthouse. Work is expected to be completed by May 1. Information will be sent out notifying the public of the reopening of the parking lots as soon as work is completed.
