Picking up the beach

We also encourage visitors to join residents by signing up to volunteer in our immersive opportunities! Through our Coastal Watch Voluntourism program, you can help offset the impacts of recent hurricanes by cleaning up our beaches and preserves, helping to restore our mangroves and oyster reefs, and by taking part in native plantings to improve resilience and restore wildlife habitat.

Please be sure to explore our island's diverse habitats by hiking more than 8 miles of trails in SCCF preserves across Sanibel Island. (Some are closed due to hurricanes, please check website.)
