About Captiva and Sanibel Islands
The Islands of Captiva and Sanibel offer property owners and
visitors two of the most beautiful, unique barrier islands in the
world with unspoiled sandy beaches. Captiva and Sanibel Island are
famous worldwide for their shelling beaches. Captiva and Sanibel
have several marinas and many excellent captains and fishing guides
that offer fishing charters for the amateur or experienced
fisherman or woman. The Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound are
home to Manatee, Dolphin, Tarpon, Grouper, Snook, and many other
varieties of fish.
Sanibel Island is only 3 miles wide at its widest
point and is 13 miles long. Sanibel is a vacation paradise with
only 6,500 year-round residents. In season the population swells to
approximately 25,000. More than half of the Island is conservation
and refuge land that was set aside to help preserve the large
variety of Florida wildlife which share the Island with residents
and visitors. Birds, Alligators, Turtles, Armadillos, and Gopher
Tortoises are just a sample of the diverse wildlife
population.
Captiva Island is much smaller than Sanibel.
Captiva is only 6 miles long and one-quarter mile wide and is
located on the North side of the Blind Pass Bridge. Captiva has
become the preferred vacation destination and permanent residence
for discerning Floridians and well-informed travelers. Captiva
Island is truly subtropical and enjoys fine weather all year. This
private, quiet, and peaceful barrier island has miles of white
sandy beaches and is unique and unspoiled. Captiva is famous for
its spectacular sunsets and romantic beach weddings.
