Captiva Island,
Sanibel Island's
northern neighbor,
is one of the most
beautifully
preserved and
well-known areas on
the Gulf Coast. The
nation's foremost
authority on
beaches, Dr. Stephen
Leatherman (also
known as Dr. Beach)
has recognized
Captiva's beaches as
the country's most
romantic two years
in a row, noting its
key features of
abundant shells and
its overall
tranquility.
The main attraction on Captiva Island is that
there are no
attractions, only
the pristine white
sand, the calm water
and the warm fresh
air. Visitors can
sit back and let the
hours fly by,
sunning, walking the
beach, fishing, or
just doing nothing.
Anne Morrow
Lindbergh was so
inspired by
Captiva's
surroundings that
she wrote her
best-selling love
letter, "A Gift From
the Sea" while a
guest on the island.
Although this tiny
barrier island has
changed in many ways
since the causeway
to the mainland was
opened in 1963, it
remains among
Florida's most
beautifully
preserved
destinations. It
offers a top-rated
resort with an
abundance of outdoor
activities such as
kayaking, biking,
swimming or boating.
Captiva Island will
captivate the senses
and soothe the soul.
The island's resort
of choice remains
the
South Seas Island
Resort. |
