Bring the whole family! We will be having a family friendly 5K run or walk on Saturday evening at 5:00pm!

Only 45 minutes, yet a world away, Captiva Island is connected to Floridas mainland via Sanibel Causeway and a small bridge over Blind Pass, joining it to Sanibel Island. Tucked away at the northern end of the five-mile long, one-half-mile wide Captiva Island, South Seas is between Pine Island Sound and the Gulf of Mexico, ensconced by two-and-a-half miles of powder-white beaches lapped by turquoise tides.

Come for the race and stay for the weekend! Presenting classic island charm, the 330-acre South Seas is nestled among mangroves with more than half of the resort a dedicated wildlife preserve and estuary. World-renowned fishing, boating, and yachting, and discovering storied barrier islands are among the unforgettable experiences of a South Seas guest. The resort has been a cherished destination for more than 75 years.
Throughout the race weekend we will have South Seas event activities around our resort for individuals and families to enjoy.
