J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge

Highlight • Natural Monument

The "Ding Darling", as it is often simply called, is a beautiful place for a bike ride on Sanibel. The one-way street has a low speed limit, so as a cyclist you are often faster than the cars. There are toilets in the middle of Wildlife Drive, and there are viewing platforms before and after.
