Location and Transportation

Seaside Inn is 35 km from Page Field Airport. The hotel is near Sanibel's 25-mile bike trail network, which passes through neighborhoods, shopping districts, and waterways. Bike rentals are available at the front desk.

“This inn struck me as a particularly charming escape on East Gulf Drive. A very short walk leads to a beach that feels surprisingly private, even at capacity. I especially appreciate the extra touches like beach equipment and the exceptionally friendly service; it reflects a rare attentiveness.”
