Where to fly into for captiva island fl
Exploring Captiva Island in Florida!
hello everyone and welcome to beautiful
sunny Florida I am in Fort Myers Senegal
Island for the next four days and you
guys are coming along for the ride okay
so today we have a full day we're going
to be exploring Pepita island which is
just off of sanibel island and we're not
hop on a boat and go over to a beachy
our destination cabbage tea is out some
distance to the left see that don't load
up there
- Ivan behind it with one white building
on it that's what
tabaqui
12 in recall the island 11 of which are
owned by one family the only one they
don't own is the first one here on the
point one family owns the past the
gardens you gotta decide on how to eat
small mostly little islands where's
lunch anyone exploit
right so we've arrived at the only
restaurant here on cabbage key which
aptly called cabbage key restaurant
behind me you could see a wall full of
dollar bills which apparently at any
given time there's over seventy thousand
dollars nailed to the wall people have
over the years to spin attaching dollar
bills writing their names on it and
leave in a piece of themselves here it's
restaurant this restaurant is also
apparently the inspiration behind Jimmy
Buffett songs Cheeseburger in Paradise
so I think we know what I'm gonna be
ordering yeah a cheeseburger
ah
we're done here beautiful club tango
and
and today just might be today when Aryan
meets an alligator lovely alright so if
I'm in under step 2 it had to be water
towers which is the last original
standing water tower in this area made
entirely out of wood and it is six
thousand gallons of water impressive
well that wraps up my time on cabbage
speed kind of hop back on the boat the
period a week before an afternoon
instead of an island
we're not going in to Sanibel Island but
we're staying on Captiva Island which
means more time at the beach
so you can't come to the beach and not
collect seashells the Fort Myers and
sent about island areas apparently home
to over 400 species of shells
yeah there's that many in the world and
I'm really lucky because I've got a
shell hunting and things were right here
Sharon of dream travel magazine and
together we are going to go Shelley good
exercises that have been there
come back up
like actually be star on the shelf
as a sheller you also see the damage
that's done to the ocean because you're
always tipping kind of through the sand
and you'll see the debris from the ocean
that swept away here and what are you
going to do with yourself well I collect
them and I put them in and applause and
I have different bosses for different
places that I think I had my goggles we
cooked what stainless ok sure just went
hardcore she's just started talking
about bringing her goggles
I like diving Wow Wow things you learn
about your friends on these trips how'd
you do some stand on the corner of Kiva
dried and Andi Rosslyn which you
consider the downtown core of Festiva
Island here you can find really cool
restaurants shops cafes you can rent
motorized sport equipment so you can
take it out onto the water and really
it's just a nice relaxing spot where you
can just unwind after you spent the
whole day absent something like a little
key lime margarita to
Oh a digger that's been out
we just finished dinner now it's time to
have a search when you're on sativa we
got to go to the bubble room best
dessert on the island what's unique
about the bubble room is decorated an
antique enjoys from the 30s 40s and 50
it has a Christmas theme of year round
the reason it's called the bubble room
you'll see these little bubble lights
people put all the lights on Christmas
trees that's what they did we go on the
second floor you can step out on a
balcony and see Santa and his elves in
their workshop which was taken from
Macy's in New York City in the 1930s you
must walk around all three levels places
really be I don't know what make just
like amazing and awesome and crazy and
weird all at the same time today
clothes your favorite probably the
orange orange crunch I think red velvet
hands-down the best I know it's good
just perfect I only had the chuff Evan
was moist and delicious
I love the key lime as well I concur
light delicious goes down nice and easy
one thing I love most about Fort Myers
and Sanibel Island are the Sun sets
because Fort Myers Beach is a
west-facing beach it means you get some
epic sunsets
stay tuned because coming up next were
exploring Sanibel Island
Oh
