Christmas Comet for 2013!
Astronomers have discovered a new comet headed for a possible dazzling performance from November 2013 to January 2014.
Named C/2012 S1 (ISON), the comet is predicted to become extremely bright (magnitude -17, much brighter than the full moon).
The new moon on December 2 will leave the sky at its darkest for best appreciation of what could be a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event.
See our Star Gazing (and Moon Gazing) page.
Why not plan a trip to Captiva for C/2012 S1, the "Christmas Comet?"
Join our 2013 Captiva Holiday Village celebration, starting Thanksgiving and continuing into early December: contests, parades, performances, cultural events, and all manner of outdoor fun.
Best of all, when it’s cold and dark in the rest of the country, Captiva’s weather can be irresistibly gorgeous at that time of year.

Captiva Island rests in quiet privacy in the Gulf of Mexico, at the end of the road north of Sanibel Island.
It has become the preferred vacation destination (as well as permanent residence) for discerning Floridians and other well-informed travelers.
For Captiva Island offers what few other Florida beaches can: luxurious accommodations in the midst of unspoiled, natural beauty.
This is also a favorite spot for Family Reunions,
and Captiva was the #1 rated "Romantic Beaches in the U.S. and Nearby" by Amy Ziff, Travelocity's Editor-at-Large.
Captiva Island is subtropical, and enjoys fine weather all year thanks to the moderating waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
The peaceful barrier island includes a wildlife sanctuary and miles of white sand beaches.
Captiva Island is unlike any other tropical island.
It has no hotels, and that's definitely part of the charm.
Instead select one of our vacation homes for rent - on the beach, on the bay for boating, or in the village for restaurant and shopping.
