Enjoy shopping and lunch in the historical village of Captiva.
Pamper yourself with a visit to Sbarra's Day Spa for a massage, facial, manicure or pedicure reservations required.
This island also offers several causal restaurants and shops within walking distance of McCarthy's Marina and Jensen's Twin Palm Marina.

Cayo Costa:

This Island is visible just north of Upper Captiva Island. You can roam this beautiful remote beach for some of the worlds greatest shelling! It's a nature and wildlife lovers' paradise.

Cabbage Key Island:

This is yet another unique island experience. The Cabbage Key Inn open for lunch and dinner is famous for its hamburgers and cheeseburgers, but not just for the taste. It's rumored that Jimmy Buffet was known to write his song "Cheeseburger in Paradise" after visiting this small island wonder!
