Blind Pass Condos Hosts Tiger Dam Flood Barrier Training with Barti Contracting and City Officials
Posted on 09/04/2025 in Tiger Dam Flood Barrier.
Blind Pass Condominiums took another important step in hurricane preparedness by hosting a Tiger Dam flood barrier training in August.
Representatives from U.S. Flood Control provided hands-on instruction for the installation and use of the Tiger Dam system. Three trainers worked closely with the Barti Contracting crew and several Blind Pass owners to ensure everyone learned the proper setup procedures.
Sanibel Mayor Mike Miller, along with other city officials, attended the training to observe the process and show support for enhanced community resilience efforts.
The training began with preparation by Dean Engdahl and Norm Boyd, owners who had staged the equipment delivered the previous week. Barti Contracting sent a seven-person crew to practice assembling 50 feet of the three-tier tube system and connecting multiple sections.
“At Blind Pass Condominiums, the safety of our property and community is our top priority,” said Dean Engdahl, President of the Blind Pass Condominium Board of Directors. “Through our partnership with Barti Contracting and hands-on training from U.S. Flood Control, we’re confident in our ability to respond swiftly and effectively when future storms arise.”
The session was highly successful, with all participants gaining the knowledge and confidence needed to deploy the system when required.

Bowman's Beach is making headlines!
Posted on 06/03/2025 in Shelling.
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news! National Geographic has named Bowman’s Beach one of the “14 Iconic Beaches You Should Visit in Your Lifetime” and USA Today's 10BEST Readers' Choice Awards for 2025, rated Bowman's Beach on Sanibel Island as the No. 6 beach in Florida.
This prestigious recognition places our beloved beach among the most stunning coastal destinations in the world—and we couldn't agree more. Bowman's Beach was the only beach listed that is located in the Continental United States!
For those who’ve already experienced Bowman’s Beach, it’s no surprise. Known for its natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and world-class shelling, Bowman’s Beach is a true hidden gem on Sanibel Island. Unlike many tourist-heavy beaches, it retains a sense of untouched serenity, framed by lush sea grapes and mangroves, and free from high-rise development.
National Geographic had this to say: "Bowman’s Beach on Sanibel Island is an undeveloped stretch of sand carpeted with shells: false angel wings, coquinas, conchs, whelks, junonias, cockles, sand dollars, and banded tulips, to name a few. A quarter-mile (400 m) walk from the road gives the beach a hidden feel, but among beachcombers, it’s famous. Considered one of the best shelling shores in the country, Bowman’s is the beneficiary of its geography, as an underwater shelf scoops the shells of gastropods and bivalves onto the shore like a special delivery from the ocean gods themselves." Read more.
In USA Today's 10BEST Readers' Choice Awards for 2025, the national news publication rated Bowman's Beach on Sanibel Island as the No. 6 beach in Florida. Why Bowman's Beach was rated a 10BEST? "The allure of Bowman's Beach, located on Sanibel Island, Florida, lies in its tranquil setting and the chance to go shelling along its expansive white sand coastline," USA Today wrote. "With amenities such as picnic areas, restrooms, and hiking trails, it's an ideal spot for families and nature enthusiasts alike." Read more.

What Makes Bowman’s Beach So Iconic?
