Relaxing on beautiful sandy beaches is one of the best things to do on Sanibel Island. Located mid-island on Sanibel off Sanibel-Captiva Road, Bowman's Beach is a beautiful stretch of remote coastline that offers excellent opportunities for shelling, swimming, romantic walks and beachcombing. If you are wondering what to do on Sanibel Island with kids, this is a great spot for a relaxing day.

The beach is popular for windsurfing and sailing and features picnic areas with barbecue grills, trails, showers, and restrooms. Visitors to the beach can park just a quarter of a mile from the beach for a small amount and enjoy a lovely short walk to the beach.
