Sunbathing in North Captiva

North Captiva Island is a hidden gem in the Gulf of Mexico, and one of the best things to do on a beach, especially a private one, is to soak up the sun. If you’re wanting to explore outside of Sanderella’s front yard, the island offers miles of pristine sandy beaches. All that’s left for you to do is pick a spot and settle in for a perfect day at the beach.

Grab a book from our bookshelf, spread out your beach towels, set up your umbrella, and enjoy the stunning views. The island's beaches are never too crowded, giving you plenty of space to unwind and take in the beauty of the surroundings.

For a unique sunbathing experience, head over to the northern tip of the island via boat or a hike through the island sanctuary, where you'll find a remote and secluded beach that stretched over a mile long. You can also take a walk down to the southern tip of the island, where you can find some of the best shelling on the island. Time flies by as you spend hours combing the beach for unique and beautiful shells.

Bring along our provided sand toys and games for moments of the day where you feel like being more active or to keep the kiddos distracted so you can keep turning the pages of that mystery novel.

And when the sun starts to set, you can take in the stunning views of the sky as it changes colors over the Gulf of Mexico. It's the perfect end to a day spent basking in the sun.

North Captiva Island is the perfect place for enjoying the sun, with its unspoiled beaches, and its calm, warm waters. It's a great destination for anyone looking to escape the crowds and enjoy some peace and quiet in a beautiful setting. So why not pack your beach bag and head over to North Captiva Island for your next vacation? You won't be disappointed! Oh… and plan on going back home supporting a glowing tan ;)
