About East End
Sanibel
East End Sanibel, located between the Sanibel Causeway and the Sanibel Lighthouse, is a coastal and residential Sanibel neighborhood with a bike-first street grid and mangrove-lined shorelines. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Periwinkle Way near Tarpon Bay Road, where low-slung plazas, outfitters, and local eateries set a sandy, come-as-you-are rhythm. Architecture leans to elevated beach cottages and condo communities designed around palms, canals, and flood-friendly landscaping. Lighthouse Beach Park frames sunrise walks and shorebird watching at the island’s eastern tip. The Sanibel Historical Museum and Village adds a preserved, old-island counterpoint to the beach scene. Bailey’s General Store and The Island Cow function as familiar local anchors for groceries and casual meals.
