Complete History of the Sanibel Island Lighthouse
Still standing 98 feet above sea level, Sanibel’s historic Light has an incredible history, one that Pfeifer Realty Group has been instrumental in documenting in films, as well as preserving in photos at the Sanibel Library. Both documentaries Sanibel Before the Causeway, and Postcards and Photos from Sanibel were produced by David E. Carter and fully funded by Pfeifer Realty Group. A more whimsical film produced by the incredibly talented Rusty Farst, Sandbars to Sanibel – Pioneering an Island, featured Mary Ellen Pfeifer as Hazel Reed the postmaster’s daughter whose antics create an island wide crisis. We hope you will enjoy the following historical account of Sanibel Island’s beloved lighthouse.
