Nestled within the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, Tarpon Bay Explorers offers a variety of nature tours and rentals to help you make the most of your Florida vacation. Got fish? We do—snook, redfish, seatrout, and more, plus all the supplies you’ll need to catch ‘em…licenses, live bait, tackle, and free advice. Experience some of the best fishing in southwest Florida. Sign up for a private fishing charter and let the Tarpon Bay Fish Finders take you “catching” in the back-bay or rent equipment and go it on your own. The common snook is one of Sanibel’s premier game fish and one of the most sought after catches in Tarpon Bay. Tarpon Bay Road & Beach Located at the southern end of Tarpon Bay Road, at the intersection of Tarpon Bay Road @ West Gulf. The beach is 8/10 mile south of Periwinkle Way. A parking lot is located 1/10 mile north of this beach access point on Tarpon Bay Road ($2 hourly charge, fram 7AM to 7PM). Tarpon Bay connects the north of the island to the south, running from Tarpon Bay in the north to a public beach in the south. There is no bike path north of San-Cap Road, but the road (which ends at Tarpon Bay Explorers) is fine for biking. At the beach access point, you'll find water, showers, and restrooms which are open from 7AM to 6PM.
