North Captiva Island is part of a chain of islands which include Sanibel and Captiva (accessible by car).

North Captiva Island has slowly developed over the last 40 years, but is still only accessible by small airplane or boat. There is an airstrip for those who choose to land on the island. A hurricane in 1921 severed Captiva Island into two separate land masses...thus creating the island that we now know as "Upper or North Captiva".

Previously inhabited by Calusa Indians over 6,000 years ago, the conquistadors arrived and nearly wiped out the tribes.

Frequented by such famous pirates as Jose' Gaspar, the island earned it's name from the women held "captive" by the pirates.

With limited development potential, it is unlikely that Upper Captiva Island will ever see a motor car or a McDonalds. The U.S. Government has established a large wildlife sanctuary, insuring that the true Old Florida charm remains forever untouched!

Development has been carefully planned and the environment protected to insure that everyone will be able to enjoy one of the few remaining natural wonders of Florida.
