• Shark: Sharks are abundant in SW Florida waters, with species like bonnethead, blacktip, and bull sharks common in the area.

Shelling Paradise: Cayo Costa and North Captiva Islands

Are you ready to experience world-class shelling on pristine beaches? Look no further than Cayo Costa and North Captiva Islands, two hidden gems off the coast of Florida. These islands offer a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, surrounded by natural beauty and an abundance of seashells.

Cayo Costa State Park

Located on the Gulf Coast, Cayo Costa State Park is only accessible by boat, making it a secluded haven for shelling enthusiasts. The park’s nine miles of undeveloped beach are a treasure trove of shells, including conchs, scallops, and clams. With no high-rise condos or crowded tourist spots, Cayo Costa remains a peaceful and unspoiled shelling destination.

North Captiva Island

North Captiva Island, situated just north of Cayo Costa, is another shelling hotspot. This barrier island is renowned for its picturesque beaches, tranquil atmosphere, and incredible shelling opportunities. With limited development and no cars, North Captiva Island is a serene retreat where you can focus on finding the perfect shell.

Tips for Shelling Success

• Timing is everything: The best time for shelling is during low tide, when the ocean reveals its hidden treasures.
• Know your shells: Research the types of shells you’re likely to find on these islands, such as lightning whelks, junonia shells, and sand dollars.
• Respect the environment: Always follow local regulations and be mindful of your impact on the environment to preserve these natural wonders.

Dolphin Watching

The combo is perfect for nature enthusiasts looking to enjoy a dolphin-watching tour. Encounter pods of playful dolphins. Learn about these fascinating creatures from our experienced guides.

Endless Summer Charter: A Dolphin and Manatee Adventure

Dolphins in Their Natural Habitat

Our expert Captain will search the dolphins’ favorite playgrounds, for an opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures leaping, splashing, and playing in their natural habitat. We’ll observe their social behavior, learn about their habitat, and maybe even get a few selfies with these marine friends.

The Elusive Manatee: A Treasure to Behold

But our summer charter isn’t just about dolphins; we’re also on the watch for the elusive manatee, a gentle giant that roams the shallow waters. With a little luck and patience, we might just spot one of these magnificent creatures gliding through the water, their snouts poking out of the surface as they search for seaweed and algae to munch on.

A Treasure Trove of Memories

As we explore the wonders, you’ll create a treasure trove of memories to share. From the thrill of spotting a dolphin pod to the awe-inspiring sight of a manatee in its natural habitat, every moment of our Endless Summer Charter will be filled with excitement, adventure, and a deeper appreciation for the marine world.

Lunch at Cabbage Key

Combine the adventure with a touch of history. Enjoy a delightful lunch at the historic Cabbage Key.

Visiting Cabbage Key: A Tropical Paradise

Located on the Gulf Coast of Florida, Cabbage Key is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. This small island, with a population of less than 100 residents, is only accessible by boat, adding to its allure and charm. The island’s remote location makes it the perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful, secluded getaway.

The Legend of Cabbage Key

Cabbage Key is famously known for its mysterious origins. According to legend, the island was named after the abundance of cabbage palms that grow on the island. Another theory suggests that the name “Cabbage Key” came from the early settlers who would toss cabbage heads overboard to mark the location of the island.

The Iconic Cabbage Key Inn

The Cabbage Key Inn, built in the 1930s, is the island’s centerpiece. This rustic, yet charming, inn is famous for its shell-filled walls and vibrant atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy a cold drink at the inn’s bar, where the walls are adorned with signed dollar bills left by previous patrons.

The Cabbage Key Inn’s restaurant serves up fresh seafood and delicious burgers, making it the perfect spot to refuel after a day of exploring. Be sure to try their famous “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” a tribute to Jimmy Buffett, who is said to have written the song after visiting the island.

Visiting Cabbage Key is an experience unlike any other. With its rich history, stunning natural beauty, and laid-back atmosphere, this tropical paradise is the perfect destination for those seeking a relaxing, adventure-filled getaway.
