Mainstay and Barnacles Bar

Accessible only by boat, North Captiva is the type of place where time stands still. Long known as Barnacle Phil’s, the newer but equally funky successor keeps the nomenclature and old-island vibe. Burgers, tacos and seafood carry the menu (have the latter fried, blackened or grilled), and a tiki hut provides shade for outdoor eating near the docks. Grab an over-garnished bloody Mary at the Barnacles Bar when you arrive and dessert at the ice cream shop before you shove off.
