Experience life on the water

Imagine living so close to Sanibel Island that it's quicker to get there by boat than by car! Then imagine you can dock your boat for FREE, with the marina being just a golf cart ride to your home. For boaters who live at Shell Point, this is an advantage that no other retirement community can offer.

Boaters enjoy free dockage with water, electricity, and direct deep-water access to the Caloosahatchee River, just minutes from the Gulf of Mexico.
