It is no surprise that fresh seafood is the favorite dish on North Captiva Island; with the island’s fabulous location between the Gulf of Mexico on one coast and the beautiful bay waters of Pine Island Sound on the other.
There are three restaurants on North Captiva Island; Mainstay, Over the Water and Mangos Bar and Grill.
MAINSTAY’S
Mainstay North Captiva and Barnacles Bar are located on the north end of North Captiva Island. Our family friendly restaurant offers amazing views of Safety Harbor on the Pine Island Sound. Enjoy our beachy vibe with coastal fare under the tiki hut with sand between your toes on a secluded island located in Southwest Florida.
Mainstay is a favorite with local anglers, sightseers, and vacationers. There is plenty of dock space to pull up to for lunch or dinner and you might even see Florida otters playing nearby and scampering about the mangroves and the docks.
A local favorite for the world-famous black beans and yellow rice, Mainstay offers indoor dining or you can eat outdoors. Their menu features Shareables, Salads, Sandwiches and Baskets, Burgers, Quesadilla’s, and Tacos. Children’s items are available as well.
A great meeting place and just about any visit will find you in the company of friendly North Captiva Island guests and locals, smiling and laughing about “the fish that got away”. Phone number (239)-472-1204.
If this isn’t enough dining or shopping, Sanibel, Captiva Islands, and Boca Grande are a short boat trip away, and many of our visitors do a little island-hopping during their stay.
