You pay $4 an hour to park and there was construction equipment working the whole time, leveling out the beach after the tide. So not relaxing or enjoyable at all. more »

One of the best places to shell on the island that we have found. Morning shell hunting is the best. more »

I have been coming to Sanibel and Captiva for years and never miss going to Blind Pass to shell. The abundance of shells here is a mind blower. It is also a great place for the sunset. more »

Small but good place to shell. Hit this early in the morning before daylight for best results.

Might be nice if parking were available. We've tried unsuccessfully to stop here many times.
