About West Gulf
Drive
West Gulf Drive, located between Tarpon Bay Road and Blind Pass, is a coastal and residential Sanibel neighborhood with Gulf-front beaches and a ribbon of bike paths. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the West Gulf Drive stretch by Island Inn Road, where beach cottages, low-rise resorts, and shell-strewn pull-offs set a relaxed, outdoors-first rhythm. Architecture leans to stilted coastal homes, classic island inns, and landscaped lanes framed by sea grapes and palms. The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum adds a distinctly Sanibel cultural note beyond the shoreline. At sunset, the sand flats near Blind Pass and the long views off West Gulf Drive define the daily cadence.
