Review & FAQ:
Located right off the mainland in the Gulf of Mexico, Captiva Island is a peaceful little community with no traffic lights. With plenty of opportunities for biking, fishing, and sailing, the island is an excellent destination for everyone who loves the outdoors.
The northernmost two miles of the island are occupied by the South Seas Island Resort, which offers 2.5 miles of beach as well as a lively event calendar suitable for families. The island is also known for its many pastel-colored buildings, the most famous of which is a multi-themed restaurant called the Bubble Room.
