Captiva’s beaches are some of the most coveted in the world for their white sands and rich collections of seashells. Yet this special island still preserves a secluded charm that makes you feel as if you’ve discovered a place that’s all your own.
Located just over the small bridge at Blind Pass from Sanibel Island, Captiva leads you to the true sense of "island life". Along Andy Rosse Lane you can stroll the sandy street by foot that will take you to local restaurants like like the Mucky Duck, R.C. Otters and The Green Flash. Round our your meal with a giant slice of cake from Boops by the Bubble Room.
Book a boat tour from Captiva to spot a host of wildlife frolicking in the waters – playful dolphins and gentle manatees are regular visitors as you cruise around the barrier islands. Turner Beach sits right at the junction of Sanibel and Captiva islands, where you’ll spot people strolling the shoreline gathering seashells and watching the sun set.
'Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa sits Gulf-front along with it's Old Captiva House restaurant. Why not stay on island time and wake up to Gulf-front views and end the day with a perfect sunset.
