At the heart of Captiva Island lies a bustling town square of sorts called Captiva Village. Home to quaint boutiques, colorful art galleries, al fresco dining, and a picturesque chapel...this is where the true community character of the island shines. This is where quirky meets chic. Where cheap tourists with sunburnt children bump up against the insane wealth of Captiva homeowners.

Smack dab in the middle of Captiva Village runs Andy Rosse Lane. This road runs the full width of Captiva Island, from the bay to the Gulf of Mexico, and acts as the epicenter of activity in the Village. It's laid-back. It's vibrant. It's tropical. It smells like fresh air, and salt water, and suntan lotion. This is the type of place vacation fantasies are made of.

Our focus today is the Mucky Duck, a destination restaurant located at the sunset end of Andy Rosse Lane.
