Captiva Island is a beautiful little Island in Lee County located in the Gulf Coast. Captiva island is probably one of the pleasing place I have ever been to. When you are at Captiva island there is not much there but the scenery and everything is amazing. On the island there is only 2 little stores that only have thing like a toothbrush, sunscreen and thing like that. There is only one restaurant and an ice-cream shop. The island is so small that you can go around the whole island in like an hour. Also on the island there is no cars there are golf cart only. To get to the Island you have to take a boat or a helicopter. The sunsets and sunrise are priceless, and there are a variety of colorful exotic flowers. Even tho there is not much to do it is very relaxing to suntan and walk around and see animal and flowers. When you are swimming in the ocean around the island, dolphins like to come up to you and they stay round the shore all the time. Also they have a high population on Herman crabs. They are everywhere!
I have only been to Captiva once but I would love to go back. It is a lot of preparing and packing to get ready for this trip knowing that they do not have shops to buy things. When you are preparing you need to make sure you don’t forget anything because once you are there you have to stay there until you reserved the boat to pick you up. But when you are there you can have a lot of fun kayaking, paddle boating, riding in a golf cart, or even just sitting on the beach.
