Description

North Captiva Island, once part of a continuous stretch of beaches with Captiva Island, was separated by the creation of Redfish Pass during a 1921 hurricane, giving birth to this remote barrier island. Only accessible by boat or private plane, North Captiva offers a unique getaway experience, free from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The island is car-free, and visitors can explore its natural beauty, vacation rentals, and casual dining spots. The serene atmosphere invites relaxation, while the pirate lore of Gaspar and his sunken treasure adds a touch of mystery to the island’s history. With minimal on-island grocery shopping, visitors often bring supplies from the mainland or have them delivered. Regular ferry services from Pine Island make it easy to access this secluded paradise. Whether you’re here for the sun, sand, or a break from the ordinary, North Captiva promises a tranquil and unforgettable retreat.
