RECREATION
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 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.
