"Highway to Heaven" and "Path to Paradise" are some common names that are used for referring to the Sanibel Causeway. That means the island is equated with Paradise and Heaven. The claim is not baseless. The beaches of the island are different from those you may have seen at other places. The beaches are covered with different types of shell that renders the beaches with heavenly look. Even adults can’t resist the temptation of picking these beautiful beaches.
