North Captiva Island is a private island accessible by private boat or public ferry. With just over 350 houses, the island is extremely special with miles of beautiful beaches, world-class shelling, birding, fishing, and of course true relaxation!
The whole island is only four miles long (and ½ mile wide at the widest part), but about half of the island is owned by the State of Florida and managed as a preserve that offers residents and guests miles of hiking trails and access to extremely remote and private white sand beaches.
The island has two restaurants (one serving casual fare and other more gourmet meals), an Island Market (not a grocery store, but has as few last-minute items), ice cream shop/boutique and an island store. There are several wonderful private chef options too!
Our island features golf carts on sandy roads only. This island is a very special and unique place, unlike any other vacation or have or will ever take… it is perfect for creating amazing memories that will last a lifetime.
