This little known island is Florida's BEST KEPT SECRET

Description from YouTube

Today we are exploring one of Florida's best kept secrets. It's one of the most beautiful, laid back, pristine islands that we have ever seen. But while this tropical paradise does have some of the most gorgeous beaches and turquoise waters, you won't have to battle any traffic to get to them as this tiny island has a population of less than 150 people and is only accessible by air or water. Cars actually aren't even allowed here so in this episode we'll be showing you around on these sand covered roads via golf cart. Come along as we experience the secluded island of North Captiva along Florida's Gulf Coast. #explorcation #florida #hiddengems Thanks to Ekster for sponsoring this video.
