Walkers will cross Sanibel end to end on foot, from sunrise at Lighthouse Beach to Blind Pass during Camino de Sanibel.<\/p>\n
St. Michael\u2019s Spiritual Pathways will host the Camino de Sanibel, a one-day pilgrimage walk across the island, on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2027. <\/p>\n
The Camino de Sanibel is based on the Camino de Santiago, the historic pilgrimage route through Europe that has drawn walkers to Santiago de Compostela in Spain for more than a thousand years. Like its namesake, the island walk is a personal journey of physical challenge, simplicity, and self-reflection: one island, one day, one direction.<\/p>\n
\u201cSanibel Island is the length of a day\u2019s walk on the ancient Camino de Santiago, with a lighthouse at one end and an open pass at the other end, with a road connecting them,\u201d said Rev. Dr. Sally Haynes, Pilgrimage Director. \u201cThe Camino de Santiago is used by people of all faiths, including non-religious, secular people. In the same spirit, all are welcome to join us on this Camino de Sanibel, to open yourself to the gifts you\u2019ll find by walking the island in a day with intentionality and grace.\u201d <\/p>\n
The full route covers 11.8 miles. It begins with a staggered sunrise start at Lighthouse Beach between 7 and 7:30 a.m. and ends at Blind Pass Beach. Walkers who prefer a shorter day can join at one of two additional starting points: the 4.8-mile mark at mid-island or the 7.7-mile mark toward the west end.<\/p>\n
Six stops along the route will offer water, snacks, and lunch. Every walker will receive a Camino de Sanibel shell to wear, a second shell to carry, a pilgrim credential to be stamped along the way, and a certificate of completion.<\/p>\n
Every walker must be registered, including those joining at the mid-island or west-end starting points. The registration link goes live at 6 a.m. on Nov. 2 at www.saintmichaels-sanibel.org, where more information about the walk is also available. Space is limited, and registration will close when the walk is full.<\/p>\n
