Captiva Island Florida
Captiva Island, Florida is renowned for its beautiful and romantic sunsets. Many couples travel there to exchange wedding vows on its stunning white sand beaches.
Whether you're planning a vacation, get-away, or simply longing for tropical attitude, Captiva Island is the perfect place to find it. Here pirates once roamed, conquistadors explored, and Calusa indians called home. Treasures to be found include spectacular white sand beaches scattered with pastel colored seashells and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.
Shelling is fun and Captiva Island has an incredible variety of shells to find, collect and admire. Captiva is one of the islands that is literarily made up of shells, created over thousands of years, and is considered among the best in the world for shelling. The island's geography of lying east and west rather than north and south allows Captiva and its sister islands to catch abundant sea shells from the Gulf of Mexico.
Captiva Island is just over a small bridge which crosses at Turner Beach, a great place for catching that prize fish. The beach stretches 5 miles to the northern tip of Captiva Island at Redfish Pass. From the bridge at Turner beach, Captiva Drive is a scenic drive past giant cactus, colorful bougainvilleas and other tropical flora along a stretch of sea and sand ending at downtown Captiva. A truly fun vacation, holiday, memorable wedding, honeymoon or just a get-a-way awaits young and old alike on Captiva Island.
