Hiking
This park offers a beautiful white sand beach perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and shelling. The name "Algiers Beach" comes from a Mississippi River steamboat named "Algiers." In the 1950s, a wealthy couple, Lathrop and Helen Brown, fell in love with Sanibel Island and purchased land, including 1,000 feet of beachfront.
