About Pine Island, FL

When you are headed to North Captiva Island, Pine Island is your gateway. All of the island ferries and most water taxi services depart from this tiny little fishing village.

The island itself is connected to the mainland by land bridges, smaller bridges, and a large scenic drawbridge in the center of a quaint artistic fishing village called Matlacha (pronounced Matt-la-shay).

One of the most prominent characteristics of the local area are the numerous mango farms and palm tree farms.

If you are planning to stop and shop when you get onto Pine Island, you could try one of the local farms to pick up fresh fruits seasonally, or plan a trip to Winn Dixie.

 

Most Island Residents can get all of their errands done either right on Pine Island or very close to it. The island is home to three towns, each with their own post office, several banks, and numerous restaurants to try for lunch and dinner.

With miles of canal coastlines, Pine Island can be an interesting location for avid boaters and fisherpeople. Without a true sugar sand beach, most of the island's coastline is mangrove lined, seawalled canals, or larger interior parcels intermixed with Florida palm tree and mango agriculture.
