Gulfside Park & Algiers Beach
Gulfside Park, AKA Algiers Beach, is a long beach great for shelling and long strolls along the Gulf of America. Like Turner Bay Beach it is centrally located and its waters are shielded from any strong currents. This makes for great swimming conditions.
If you follow the bike path from the park you will discover an old pioneer cemetery that is only accessible by that path.
27.5 acres, Bike racks, Drinking fountain, Outside showers, Restrooms, Picnic Areas, Barbeque grills, 46 parking spaces, Handicapped accessible (free handicapped parking)

Tranquility I usually travel alone and I felt completely safe at the Island Inn. The inn is clean and well cared for, everything is in tip-top condition! In addition, the employees were all very kind. The free use of the umbrellas and beach chairs are the icing on the cake! Some other resorts on the island charge you $$ to sit under an umbrella. read more
A great place to stay! We just left this wonderful inn. The people were so kind and welcoming, the room (actually more of a condo) was beautiful and had everything we needed. The beach in front of the inn was beautiful and had better shells than most places on the island! The balcony, which was screened in, was beautiful, we ate breakfast there every day! There were chairs and umbrellas on the beach. You can’t beat the sunset as well. This was our first time back to Sanibel since the devastating hurricanes. There were plenty of restaurants open and lots of shops are coming back too. We’ll be back! read more
Return to Paradise We have stayed at the Island Inn many times. However, this was our first stay since the hurricanes hit Sanibel. The rooms in Matthews Lodge were just as great as ever. The beach had a great many more shells. The chairs and umbrellas made sitting on the beach very peaceful and enjoyable. The staff was as friendly and welcoming as ever. While so much has changed, we were glad to support the Island Inn and all the other familiar businesses on Sanibel. It is important to show your loyalty to such a wonderful place and the people who live and work there. We will be back again in the near future! read more
