Captiva Island is about 6 miles long and very narrow, the widest point being about 1/3 mile wide. It's part of unincorporated Lee County. While it is not covered by the laws governing the City of Sanibel, it is tightly regulated through its own special controls. Captiva, like most barrier islands, suffers beach erosion because the natural flow of the currents from the Gulf of Mexico is from north to south and Captiva sits north and south. The Captiva Erosion Prevention District (CEPD) has implemented an ongoing beach renourishment program which taxes property owners on a pro-rata basis. This, together with county, state and federal money, has funded the beach renourishment. Sanibel beaches, by and large, are stable although there is erosion in some areas. Captiva is essentially three different areas: The southern third has estate type zoning whereby the property sizes must be at least an acre of land or more. The middle third is a mixture of resorts, including 'Tween waters Inn, "downtown", some condominiums and single family dwellings. Then the northern third is South Seas Resort, which is a full service resort facility covering 330 acres.

A 330 acre tropical paradise where owners and guests visit year after year. South Seas offers activities for every age group. Enjoy the day golfing along side the Gulf of Mexico, play tennis, look for shells on two miles of beach or participate in organized activities such as yoga or water aerobics. The kids camp offers day and evening programs as well as activities such as log rolling and hermit crab racing. There are a variety of dining choices on the Resort - from the casual, marina-side Cap'n Al's to the elegant and romantic Kings Crown Restaurant. In the evening, entertainment can be found in the lounge with sounds from the Caribbean beats to the Oldies. A fun time is to be found by all. The new Fitness Club and Resort salon Services features a variety of stations including treadmills, stair climbers, stationary bicycles, weight training and more. After your workout, Resort Salon Services is there with an array of massages and complete line of hair, skin, and nail care services.
