With sugary white sands and a gentle salty smell in the air, Captiva Beach is over on Captiva Island and is another of the best beaches in the Sanibel Island area. There aren't many parking spaces here, but it rarely gets overly busy, so it's never too difficult to find a spot. The beach is soft and welcoming, with gentle waves lapping up onto the shore. It's a nice place to simply sunbathe and relax, and it's also an excellent spot to watch the sunset.
