Home to Colgate Offshore Sailing School, the #1 sailing school in the country, South Seas Resort has plenty of activities in addition to the ability to become sailing certified.
Swim in the heated pool, stroll around the Yacht Harbour looking for the resident manatees, play golf or tennis, and relax at the spa.
The beaches are gorgeous, but as they were too windy during my winter visit, we tooled around Captiva Island on a golf cart, took an outdoor yoga class, painted a turtle during a painting lesson with artist Sissi Janku and spotted several dolphins on a Captiva Cruise.
