Captiva Island -The Place You Will Never Forget!

If you liked Sanibel for its quiet and secluded style you will love Captiva Island. Very private community and home of some famous people.

It feels like a long drive from Sanibel, but it is just that 35 MPH speed limit. It is just about 5 miles from 'downtown' of Sanibel.

You wont really see much of open sea till you get to a small bridge Blind Pass Bridge. Then there is a view you were waiting for. You can park on either side of the bridge and take a walk to the beach. Only thing you hear is pounding waves and wind. Specially at the evening or after sunset. I used to stop there in middle of the night on my way back to the airport. Cab was empty and I was walking the beach totally alone! What a feeling! Stars above my head and sea roaring I felt like a part of Nature. That usually made my day.

Once in a while we go to Captiva Island with my friends for great fishing. Captiva Island was originally part of Sanibel but was cut of by storm. That created Blind Pass. It used to be open for sea water. And it is closed again after storm some time ago.

North Captiva,  is accessible only by ferry or small plane.

South Seas Plantation Resort is a 330 acres recreational area in northern tip of the island. It includes many apartments for rent, golf course, marina and swimming pools. Oh, did I mention beautiful beaches?

Green Flash is a local restaurant serving the most delicious and fresh seafood. 

Bubble Room is also very famous restaurant of the island. Both are accessible either by boat or car.

No McDonald's here!
