We've compiled a comprehensive guide to help you prepare for your North Captiva getaway without missing a beat.
Clothing Essentials:
Lightweight and breathable clothing, such as airy shorts, flowy sundresses, and comfortable cotton t-shirts, to keep you feeling cool and relaxed under the island sun.
Pack plenty of your favorite swimsuits and water resistant sandals. Pair them with a stylish and versatile cover-up for everyday easy outfits.
Don't forget to include a light sweater or jacket for cooler evenings, allowing you to enjoy the island's mesmerizing sunsets in comfort.
A rain jacket may help you to stay prepared for sudden tropical storms, which can add an exciting twist to your island experience… or embrace the warm rain as part of your tropical adventure!
Toiletries:
High SPF sunscreen to shield your skin from the abundant sunshine and protect against any unwanted sunburn.
Insect repellent to ward off pesky bugs and ensure uninterrupted enjoyment of North Captiva's natural wonders at night. Search “bug bands” on Amazon to find some cool innovations that would also work to keep away the critters.
Personal toiletries… vacation is no excuse to snooze on your skincare routine ;).
Other Essentials:
Polarized sunglasses are highly recommended to reduce glare and enhance your vision while enjoying the sparkling waters and vibrant surroundings of North Captiva. They offer superior protection for your eyes, ensuring you can fully appreciate the island's stunning beauty without any discomfort.
Remember to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout your adventures, while simultaneously minimizing your environmental impact. Refill stations are conveniently located around the island for your convenience. Our favorite water bottle is the convenient Owala FreeSip which comes in the cutest selection of colors.
Don't forget to pack your favorite beach read or reading device for those quiet moments of relaxation under the swaying palms.
Ensure you have a reliable dry bag for kayaking and other water sports, a travel day pack for easy exploration, a snorkel set for discovering vibrant marine life, leave-in conditioner to protect your hair, and a waterproof speaker for the perfect island ambiance.
At our rental property, we provide an array of beach toys, games, and fishing equipment, saving you the hassle of bringing these extras from home. Additionally, feel free to add many of these items to your “grocery list” where you can purchase any forgotten essentials.
With your well-prepared packing list in hand, you're well on your way to a rejuvenating and unforgettable North Captiva island retreat. Embrace the laid-back atmosphere, soak in the natural splendor, and make memories that will last a lifetime. Enjoy every moment of your well-deserved escape!
