Although it takes a little walking to get from the parking lot to the beach, Tarpon bay beach is a great place for anyone who enjoys marine life.
While walking on the beach, we were able to encounter a couple of turtle's nests which the city of Sanibel does a great job of protecting.
The beach also has tons of shells by the shore, so many that it makes a little difficult to get into and out of the water.
