Captiva & Sanibel Island Beaches

Rich with wildlife and first class amenities, Captiva and Sanibel are rightly considered two of the most captivating barrier islands in the country. Captiva and Sanibel Islands have also earned a reputation for some of the best shelling in the world. The Southwest Florida water currents play into a sheller’s hands, washing up more shells along the coastline than in any other place in North America—more than 400 species! People all over the beaches can be seen doing the “Sanibel Stoop” to collect these unique shells. 

Fort Myers Beach

Colorful Fort Myers Beach, located on Estero Island, is a beachcomber’s delight, with island style shops, a cute and quirky atmosphere, parks, and marinas.The seven-mile stretch of beach has a wide shoreline that eases into the Gulf. with a gentle undertow and no steep drop-offs, the palm-shaded sand and family-friendly reputation nabbed it the title “World’s Safest Beach” making it ideal for families.

Building Back Our Treasured Beaches

Our beautiful area in SWFL took a direct hit from Hurricane Ian on Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022. While much of the Fort Myers area survived without much damage, the  storm did substantial damage to the barrier islands including Fort Myers Beach… However, we are coming back with more businesses opening every week! Please come and support SWFL as we continue to rebuild from the storm.

For my son’s 13th birthday we had Captain Jack take a group of my son’s friends fishing. They had a blast. Captain Jack knew all the best fishing spots and educated the boys on how to bait and cast their lines. As a result we had a very successful fishing day.

When I asked my son what was his favorite part of the day, he replied…..

“EVERYTHING!”

I would highly recommend using Jackpot Fishing and Ecotours.”
