Sanibel, FL — Florida Gulf Coast
A popular Sanibel spot at the island's historic lighthouse, near the pass into San Carlos Bay. Local tip: for gear, lessons, or repairs, Roy at Ace Performer (https://www.aceperformer.com/) is the go-to guy for wind sports in this area — new and used gear, lessons, and he's often out on the water with his truck if you need help or repairs mid-session. Parking here is also $5/hour.
