IF YOU'RE DRIVING:
Take I-75 to exit 131. Go west (Daniels Road) to a major
intersection called Six Mile Cypress, where you'll need to be in the left turn lanes. After turning,
follow that road, which crosses US 41. Daniels now becomes Gladiolus. When you see Denny's Diner, scoot over to the
left turn lanes. At the major intersection of Summerlin Road, turn left. Follow this for several miles to the
Sanibel Causeway tollbooths.
THE SANIBEL CAUSEWAY:
The toll to paradise is $6. Once you're on the causeway, take it easy. You're in a construction zone, while a new
bridge is being built. There's also beautiful scenery. So heed the low speed limits, and take in the sights. If you
need a bathroom break, there are restrooms on the second causeway island, on your left.
IF YOU'RE FLYING:
Many airlines fly into RSW (Southwest Florida International). This market is also served by Tampa (TPA), Orlando (MCO)
and Miami (MIA) airports. Save on airfare with Southwest Airlines, USA3000, JetBlue, and Spirt, among others; they
fly right into Ft. Myers with many direct flights from major cities. Taxis are available to the islands and will cost
about $50 to Sanibel.
Both Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale are good bets for lower fares, and the drive to Fort Myers/Sanibel is less than 3 hours.
If you fly into Tampa, we recommend taking I-275 to I-75, and avoiding I-4.
There are facilities to accomodate private jets at both RSW and the smaller, municipal Page Field airport at Ft. Myers.
IF YOU'RE RENTING A CAR:
Driving from RSW (Southwest Florida International) is an easy drive. As you leave the rental car area at the airport,
you are automatically exited onto Airport Road. Get into the right lane and follow it to the end - Treeline Road.
Turn right. This takes you all the way to Daniels Road. Turn left onto Daniels and follow the driving directions above.
