Captiva: Florida's Best-Kept Secret

Imagine that enchanting tropical island setting... but with all of the advantages of an American vacation. Kick back for some rest and relaxation, Captiva style... away from the glitz and crowds of the usual south Florida resorts.

Captiva means peace and quiet in a beautiful paradise setting. The big private homes in natural surroundings are perfect for families from couples through big extended family reunions.

The village on Captiva has everything you'll need.
And you can walk to it all.

• Bask on the white sand beach, or frolic in the warm Gulf waters.
• Eat in cafes and restaurants you'll talk about until your next visit.
  Pictured is the famous "Mucky Duck Restaurant," a first-rate beach-side vantage for spectacular sunsets.
• Take in some tennis, golf, or chill out by a pool.
• Browse for gifts, clothes and supplies in the shops.
• Relax under a cabana and watch the antics of the porpoise and sea birds.
• Hunt for rare and beautiful shells all along the famous shelling beach.
• Let the serenity of Captiva unwind you -- like a great vacation should!

Energetic? Rent some fun for the day, or bring your own:

• Take a scooter or bike and tour the secluded corners of the islands.
• Explore the protected wetlands in a canoe or kayak.
• Watch the fascinating manatees and playful birds from the pier.
• Fish the gulf or bay from a day boat, or a deep-sea charter.
• Visit the upper islands by boat (lunch at the hotel bar on Cabbage Key).
• Snorkel North Captiva Island, or scuba from dive charters based on Captiva.
• For a longer adventure, charter a yacht to Key West, only three hours to the south.
