It's a little bit of history that never ceases to impress. Stop in every so often to walk the quiet little cemetary and wonder at people past!

Take a few moments to stop by the Chapel when on Captiva. This historic building is inspirational even for an agnostic like me.

If you prefer the county life over city life, this is it. It's a chapel . . .

it is a beautiful little white chapel that seats probably 50ish people. whenever we are in Captiva for Christmas, we always go to the Christmas Eve service. They put out seating for about another 100 people under a canopy of Christmas lights. The service includes singing Christmas Carols. It is so incredibly lovely.

On my morning walk and thought I would go see the Chapel by the Sea. The pastor Tom met me when I was walking up to the church (coming out of the parsonage by the church). Very friendly, community oriented location and personal approach. Thanks

We loved everything about Chapel By the Sea on Captiva. It's exactly what you'd imagine- a small, white clapboard, casual little chapel right on the beach. The pastor, Rev. Joyce Kelly, was so wonderful! If you want a small intimate ceremony right on the beach, this is the place to go!
