The community of Captiva, Florida has the romantic feel of the Caribbean with its vibrant colors as well as its diverse shops and restaurants. Captiva is one of the few places that has been able to hold on to its old world charm.

Captiva is a secluded island off the coast of Ft. Myers on the West Coast of Florida with pristine white sand, calm waters and the warm Gulf Breeze, nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound. The Gulf coast beaches of Captiva are scattered with “treasures of the sea” as it is the Sea Shelling Capital of the World.

There are no chain businesses in Captiva, only charming mom and pop stores to keep you happy the old fashion way. Breathtaking sunsets can be viewed daily on the island and Tenderly's private beach. Dining on Captiva is superb, from the historic like The Bubble Room to the romantic like The Riviera Restaurant Lounge, and let's not forget the ocean front Mucky Duck.

Captiva is a great place to relax or you can enjoy bike riding, kayaking, tennis, golf or just getting a tan on the beach. End your day with a romantic stroll on the beach or listen to live music at one of the low-key patio bars in Old Captiva Village. Whether you are looking for a quiet romantic getaway or a vacation for the whole family, Captiva has something for everyone.
