and deli; a Starbucks; and the Ship’s Store
with its great selection of sandwiches and
other tasty treats. And of course, there is Doc
Ford’s Rum Bar & Grill with its Caribbean
inspired dishes, lively atmosphere and
famous mojitos.
There is much to do from relaxing
around the pools or beach to kayaking
and boating. Shelling enthusiasts do the
“Captiva Crouch” while searching for the
perfect shells along the beach. There is also
a full service marina, which can berth yachts
up to 120 feet, or you can rent a boat to go
fishing or just exploring. The list goes on and
on. There are all types of watersports from
parasailing to paddleboarding, children’s
programs, tennis, pickleball and golf, along
with a spa, fitness center, yoga classes, Trek
bikes and exercise trails.
The resort village is a protected wildlife
sanctuary filled with Florida beauty. Its
surrounding water is filled with bottle-nosed
dolphins and West Indian manatees. It’s a
wonderful place to get away to when you
want to slow down and enjoy life. 9
