Ocean’s Reach is a beachfront condominium community on Sanibel with a quieter, more relaxed feel than a large resort. Due to its location in the island, you can watch both the sunrise and the sunset from the beach. The property includes 64 units across four buildings on a quiet dead-end street, giving it a secluded feel while still being conveniently located mid-island near Periwinkle Way and the island’s main shops and restaurants. The beach here is known for its world-class shelling, gentle surf, and gradual slope into the water, making it an especially easy place to spend the day. With limited development on either side, the setting feels open, calm, and closely connected to the natural side of the island. 

Ocean’s Reach offers a well-rounded set of amenities that support the kind of stay Sanibel is best known for. Guests have access to a beachfront heated pool, tennis and pickleball courts, covered parking, a private storage closet, and more than 500 feet of shoreline. The beach here is especially known for world-class shelling, and the property includes a shell cleaning and identification station to make that part of the experience even easier. Additional amenities include on-site bicycle rentals, easy access to Sanibel’s bike paths, an on-site osprey nest, and a newly installed safe, botanically-derived mosquito and no-see-um suppression system that helps make outdoor spaces more comfortable throughout the property. More details on the system here.

Ocean’s Reach also offers guided beach walks every other Tuesday from 1 to 3 p.m., free for owners and guests staying at the property. Led by knowledgeable marine science educators, these casual walks are a chance to learn more about Sanibel’s shells, shoreline, wildlife, and the many unusual things that wash ashore. No two walks are exactly the same, which makes them a nice way to experience the beach as more than just scenery.
