Travel Info & Local Advice
Beaches - North Captiva is bordered on both the Bay and Gulf by some of the world's most beautiful white sand beaches. The pristine beaches show off the turquoise blue ocean and bay, which are free of pollution and comparable to the finest Caribbean beaches.
Wildlife - Since most of the Island is a Government Wildlife Sanctuary, you live amongst Florida's sea life with flocks of sea birds, many of which are now rare or extinct to the mainland. Your long beach walks take you into the heart of this extraordinary coastal ecosystem with its remarkable diversity of sea life. Many of Florida's beaches were like this 100 years ago.
Shelling - You will find the best shelling on Florida's west coast on North Captive Island. Unlike heavily-combed Sanibel beaches. North Captiva beaches present an unsurpassed abundance of shells which are consistently renewed by the ocean current along the Island.
Fishing - It is no surprise that many of the Island's inhabitants, including humans, birds, and fish, constantly focus on the island waters. Some of the West Coast's best fishing is directly off the islands beaches and docks. Sports fisherman seek their quarry in the waters immediately offshore. You can acquire rental boats, fishing charters, sea kayaks for your recreational fishing and touring needs. The Seawatch dock on the edge of a deep channel is one of the best fishing locations on the Island.
Hiking - The northern end of the Island is honeycombed with miles of narrow shell roads both inland and along the beach just minutes from your rental -- perfect for day hiking. The Wildlife Sanctuary is bordered on the Gulf & Pine Island Sound by three miles of pristine white sand beaches draped by pines and palms.
Tennis - Safety Harbor Club offers modern courts to members and those renting Seawatch.
Swimming - The ocean and bay are unbeatable, along with a heated swimming pool at the Safety Harbor Club located only minutes away from Seawatch. Be cautious of currents around the Island.
Golf - Alden Pines (tel: 239-283-3766) is an 18 hole golf course at reasonable fees (Par 71) located two minutes from Pineland Marina at 14261 Clubhouse Drive, Bokelia, Florida 33922. It's open to the public and reachable by regularly scheduled water taxi or charter service direct to Pineland Marina's North Captiva departure location. Alden Pines will pick you up and return you to Pineland Marina by golf cart at no extra charge.
Dining - Seawatch guests generally have four restaurants available to them. All the restaurants offer fish and seafood (some gourmet) along with steaks and other turf items from inexpensive but delicious lunches to moderately priced dinners. Also you can stop in for a glass of beer or wine at one of the Island's watering holes, where you can catch up on Island folklore and gossip.
Testimonials
"The house was perfect, ideally furnished and wonderfully equipped. We loved watching the sunrises and sunsets. North Captiva Island was a vacation paradise and all amenities excellent." -- Lisa
"I wanted to thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. The amenities were exactly what we were looking for. Being on the gulf was ideal. You didn't mention the abundance of porpoises right in front of the dock. We were able to dock our boat right outside of our door. This was a vacation of a lifetime! I have spoken to our friends and I am strongly recommending it to anyone who wants to get away from the crowds." -- Nery
"Everyday we saw some new and wonderful part of North Captiva. SEAWATCH is elegant, yet simple and commands an outstanding view of it all: the dolphins playing at the dock, the night sky from the upper deck the sheephead, snook and redfish, the snow egret, the blue heron sitting on the balcony, and all the other small and large wonders of this piece of paradise."
"This was the perfect house and island to celebrate our Mom's 80th Birthday. The peace and serenity were a welcome for all of us. The wildlife was spectacular. We hope to return!" -- Robert
"We loved the house and all the amenities. We will almost definitely come back someday. The views are breathtaking and we really enjoyed watching the dolphins right from our breakfast table."
"Our stay at SEAWATCH was everything I had anticipated! The house is beautiful. When coming home from a day in the sun, you never feel as though you are missing out on the beautiful outdoors. It is right before your eyes, every minute! I loved sitting on the dock around 4:00 with a good book, listening to the sounds of the gulf, taking in the sights of the beautiful birds and dolphins. It was great! I am sad to leave." -- Susan
"Absolutely wonderful: A perfect vacation: quietness, friendliness, great fishing, relaxation, and a beautiful house- I would come again. Great design and thought. The price & boat lift made this the ultimate control factor on this great remote island." -- JWC
"I've stayed at Seawatch both in '02 and '07. Both years were fantastic but '07 is even better with unobstructed views of the bay, beach, and palms. All is new!"
"We really enjoyed our stay at Seawatch. The location is perfect, the view is great. We enjoyed fishing, shelling, sunshine, bird watching, dolphin watching etc." -- Tracey S Bussey
