Order your groceries in advance
North Captiva has no real shopping. There is Mango's where you can get essentials if you forgot anything, but you have to bring your food with you.
You can either pre-order at Publix and pick your orders up on the way to Pine island (tell them to "boat-pack" it) or you use one of the grocery services:

Please don't let your children drive the golf carts!
We want you and your family have a great time while you stay at our beautiful house. And having kids of our own, we know that they would love to drive the golf cart, because it is so much fun.
On the island you have to be a licensed driver to operate a golf cart. There have been some very heavy accidents caused by speeding, driving drunk or underaged kids.
Don't get involved in a tragedy like this. Please drive responsibly and don't let your kids get behind the wheel. Even if they do not cause an accident, they might not be able to avoid one caused by somebody else. Thank you!

Fresh Seafood
I like Island Seafood Market on Matlacha. She will pass it on the way to Pine Island where she catches the ferry. They will also deliver to the Island Girl dock where it can be taken to North Captiva on the ferry.

Please respect the islands beautiful nature 🙏❤️
The biggest part of North Captiva is a Wildlife Preserve with nesting Sea turtles, a huge variety of birds, manatees, wonderful shells and sea live and much more. I am quite sure that I don’t have to tell you: Golf carts are not allowed on the beaches - please stay on the roads. It is fun enough to drive there 😊 Please don‘t litter - it is not only ugly, but a real threat to the wildlife. Maybe you grab a plastic bag if you are going for a walk and collect plastic and other stuff you find and put it in the house waste after your return? I always find it quite satisfying to do so 😉
