Life on Captiva
Surrounded by the Gulf, Pine Island Sound, and protected wildlife preserve, South Seas is a place to explore — by boat, on foot, or from the comfort of a hammock.
Club Captiva
The best of South Seas — pools, golf, dining, and more — is available only to guests who reserve directly with South Seas or owners with Club Captiva access.
Main Pool Open Daily 9 AM – Sunset
Designed with families in mind, this manicured setting overlooking Pine Island Sound features three pools, a winding waterslide, chaise lounges, and shady umbrellas.

Spanning 2 ½ acres, Captiva Landing offers exclusive amenities for owners and guests with Club Captiva access. Families can splash through Bottlenose Bay’s slides and water features, float along Gulfstream’s lazy river, or unwind at The Cove’s tranquil retreat. Beyond the water, enjoy the retro-inspired Flippers arcade and quick-serve dining, plus Camp-tiva — a dedicated kids’ camp featuring supervised crafts, games, arcade play, and special evening programs designed just for young adventurers.
At The Clutch, sweeping views of the Gulf, Pine Island Sound, and Redfish Pass are a memorable part of your game. This family-friendly short course conceptualized by Beau Welling—one of the top golf course designers in the United States—offers an inviting experience for beginners and challenging pin placement for more advanced players. Hone your putting skills on the practice putting green before taking on the course.
Open Daily 6 AM – 9 PM
The Bayview Fishing Pier welcomes South Seas guests and owners with Club Captiva access back to one of the best views of Pine Island Sound.

Children who catch their first fish on the pier can earn a custom South Seas Challenge Coin to commemorate the achievement. Experience this timeless spot where nature and cherished memories come together.
