Vacation photos of Captiva Island, Florida

[Russ]

Just got back from a week at Captiva Island, Florida. On August 13, 2004, Captiva was devastated by hurricane Charley, suffering severe property damage and the loss of 90% of its lush tropical foliage, including nearly all of its mangrove trees. Yet, despite the hurricane, Captiva is alive and well, and is the closest I have ever been to a real tropical paradise.

Nice pics!

The last sunset shot looks like it could be from the around the 'Mucky Duck' area.

Went there a couple years ago and you could actually see small dolphins jumping out of the water, just off shore.

Thanks! We stayed at Plantation Beach Club... no fishin', but my little one brought home about 20 lbs of seashells. The sunset was taken right behind our unit, about a 5 min drive (at 19 mph) from the Mucky Duck.
