There's a wide range of water sports, including some of the best fishing found anywhere. Rent a kayak, sailboat or powerboat and explore the island's picturesque coastline. Charter a boat to do some shelling or beachcombing on the barrier island of Cayo Costa. Make a reservation for a sunset cruise or take a snorkeling or diving trip. Then there's the tennis courts, pool, quaint restaurants, state preserve, boutique, nature walks, jogging trails, shelling and picnic areas.
Golf is available on the nearby mainland.
Rentals also include bicycles, video tapes, fishing gear, tennis gear and VCRs. Organzied children's activities are available two days a week by trained recreation professionals. Of course, you can't describe North Captiva's amenities without mentioning the beach. Visitors can walk for miles and not see any signs of civilization other than their own footprints in the sand. Don't expect to find haute cuisine or black-tie dining on North Captiva.
