Beautiful North Captiva Island - also called Upper Captiva Island - is one of Florida's best-kept vacation secrets. Located in Southwest Florida, just north of Sanibel and Captiva Islands, Upper Captiva Island is a secluded natural paradise. Nearly four miles of Gulf beaches await you, without the hustle and bustle of many other vacation destinations.

This is natural Florida, a special getaway without cars, traffic, or crowds. No cars! Our island's sandy roads are traveled by bicycle and golf cart, and North Captiva can only be reached by boat or small plane.

Every home and condo on the island is just minutes to our Gulf of Mexico beaches or the beautiful bay. We are just off the coast of Lee County, near Pine Island, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, and Naples. Click Here to see the map to the Island.

Fishing and Boating

We are a short boat trip from our famous sister islands, Sanibel and Captiva. We have the same white sand beaches - but not the crowds.

Upper Captiva Island has long been a sport fishing destination. Tarpon, snook, redfish, snapper and spotted sea trout are plentiful in Pine Island Sound and the island passes. Just offshore are larger snapper, grouper, cobia and many other salt water fish. We have great local fishing guides ready to assist you with a memorable vacation!

Our beaches are known for the best shelling in North America. Lightning whelks, horse and fighting conchs, olive and cone shells, murexes, augers, tulip shells, scallops... too many species to name.

North Captiva Island is a casual, friendly environment and an unbeatable family vacation experience. From the moment you step off your water taxi at our docks through that final sunset, your holiday will be special.
