Captiva's beaches have been designated the country's most romantic two years in a row.
Captiva Island, Sanibel Island's northern neighbor, is one of the most beautifully preserved and well-known areas on the Gulf Coast. The nation's foremost authority on beaches, Dr. Stephen Leatherman (also known as Dr. Beach) has recognized Captiva's beaches as some of the country's most romantic, noting its key features of abundant shells and its overall tranquility.
The main attraction on Captiva is that there are no attractions, only the pristine white sand, the calm water and the warm fresh air. Visitors can sit back and let the hours fly by, sunning, walking the beach, fishing, or just doing nothing. Anne Morrow Lindbergh was so inspired by Captiva's surroundings that she wrote her best-selling love letter, "Gift From the Sea" while a guest on the island.

Although this tiny barrier island has changed in many ways since the causeway to the mainland was opened in 1963, it remains among Florida's most beautifully preserved destinations. It offers top-rated resorts with an abundance of outdoor activities such as kayaking, biking, swimming or boating. Captiva Island will captivate the senses and soothe the soul.
