About Captiva Island Florida

This is a quaint vacation island in the Gulf of Mexico where you can go "to get away from it all". Captiva stretches six miles from the southern connection to Sanibel to the northern tip of South Seas Plantation and is off the coast of southwest Florida. Here you can relax and have fun on some of the State's best beaches and fabulous weather. You can also enjoy a boat ride out on the beautiful waters that surround this exquisite island. Or you can take a stroll along the beach were you are likely to see dolphin or manatees swimming close by. No matter what you do, you will enjoy your stay at this spectacular island resort.

Captiva’s village is located mid island and offers a quaint mix of gourmet and casual restaurants, rental bikes and golf carts, plus galleries and boutiques. In addition Captiva Village contains a public library, community center, and historic beach front Chapel by the Sea.   It’s never more than a five-minute walk to the bay, the beach, or a great meal.

Beyond the village, and comprising the two miles of Captiva's northern end, is the large, luxurious and exclusive South Seas Island Resort, a full-service resort.

Noted world-famous guests to Captiva include Teddy Roosevelt, Charles Lindbergh (who regularly landed his plane on the beach in front of 'Tween Waters Inn), Anne Morrow Lindbergh and J. N. Ding Darling . Both the Old Captiva House restaurant and a number of guest cottages have been designated historically-significant sites by Lee County, Florida. Travelocity has called Captiva's sunsets "the most romantic in all America."
