Situated off of the Gulf Coast of Florida near Fort Myers, Captiva Island is associated sometimes with neighboring Sanibel Island to the south. Both of these islands are all about outdoor activities, such as water activities, birding, sailing, and biking. Captiva Island is a small piece of land that is nestled against the southwest coast of Florida and gives of an almost magical, slightly off-kilter feel. The small island is also home to one of the most remote beaches in the United States. The island’s shell beaches are some of the world’s most beautiful of their kind. Captiva Island Map
