Island Bay National Wildlife Refuge
Directions
Access to the waters surrounding the islands that make up the Island Bay NWR
is by boat only. The islands are not accessible to visitors. Boaters should
consult navigational charts and tide schedules before attempting to visit any
waters surrounding the refuge. Numerous oyster bars and shallow back
bay/estuary waters are difficult to navigate and fragile seagrass beds must
not be damaged. By boat, the refuge is located on the north side of Charlotte
Harbor in Turtle Bay. The nearest population centers are Port Charlotte, lying
approximately 15 miles to the east, and Fort Myers, roughly 23 miles
southeast. For more information, contact the J.N. "Ding" Darling NWR, 1
Wildlife Drive, Sanibel, Florida 33957 or call (239) 472-1100.
