This hidden gem is a breathtaking tropical paradise! North Captiva is accessible only by ferry, boat, jet ski, or small plane and does not allow gas powered vehicles on island. Live the true island life exploring on a fat tired bike, kayak, or paddle board. The slow pace of the island is reminiscent of simpler and quieter times. 

Magical is the only word to describe being greeted by dolphins and manatees in their natural habitat. Also be on the lookout for gopher tortoises and sea turtles! Boasting pristine, white sand beaches and crystal clear water, North Captiva is one of the best places for shelling in the United States.
