Captiva Island may be connected to Sanibel by a bridge, but it's another world. Any of the following words could be used to describe Captiva and all would be correct: quirky, upscale, charming, exclusive.

Captiva is defined by a few things: the village area, proximity to both Gulf and Bay, fabulous sunsets and the ability to walk to different activities. Every service you can imagine is available, from massage at home to family portraits on the beach. Shopping is fabulous. And Captiva's beach is front and center for sunset, every single night.

All types of accommodations are available on Captiva: inns, condos, homes and estates. The island is also blessed with an abundance of great restaurants ranging from funky family favorites to romantic bistros.

Be sure to get out on the water; the out-islands are a short boat ride away; sailing, fishing, shelling, parasailing and kayaking are all available.  More Captiva Island Information >>>
