North Captiva Island offers you a private island getaway with beachfront home.
A sister island to Sanibel Island and Captiva Island to our south; North Captiva Island- also known as Upper Captiva Island on nautical charts- presents Florida island visitors with an array of fun activities. With quiet sandy beaches and private island roads for golf carts or bicycles, North Captiva Island is a truly unique treasure off the Gulf Coast of Florida.

·         Excellent shelling is provided along the miles of pristine sandy North Captiva beaches.

·         Vacationing on North Captiva offers families and friends a private island with all of the amenities of a larger resort atmosphere without the busy pace of Sanibel and Captiva Islands.

·         You can enjoy unspoiled nature like few other locales in the U.S.

·         Photography buffs are instantly at home along the beaches, on the water, catching glimpses of Dolphins, exploring the beauty of nature’s hidden treasures in the wildlife sanctuary.

·         First class fishing is right at your fingertips. Not far from North Captiva is Boca Grande Pass, where world-class tarpon fishing takes place every year, including the World’s Richest Tarpon Tournament. The waters surrounding Upper Captiva Island are abundantly filled with flounder, pompano, grouper, trout, bluefish, red snapper, kingfish, mackerel, redfish, and more.

 See you on the beach!
