SANIBEL ISLAND, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Nearly three years after Hurricane Ian impacted Southwest Florida, South Seas (https://www.southseas.com/) will host a four-day Grand Reopening Celebration during Memorial Day Weekend that includes the debut of new amenities along with a charity fishing tournament.

The celebration runs May 22-25 and will highlight South Seas' post-storm improvements, which include enhanced dining options, renovated pools, water sports, beach services, fitness amenities, The Clutch Golf Course, Bayview Pier, the Shops at South Seas and more. Amenities are available to guests with Club Captiva and registered South Seas Resort guests.

The Grand Reopening Celebration coincides with the second annual South Seas Tarpon Tournament to benefit Folds of Honor. Since 2007, Folds of Honor has provided educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America's fallen and disabled service members and first responders. Tournament proceeds will directly benefit local families in Lee County and the surrounding areas of Captiva Island and Sanibel Island. The inaugural event in 2024 raised over $200,000, the equivalent of 40 scholarships.

Captiva Island is connected to Florida's mainland via Sanibel Causeway and a small bridge over Blind Pass, joining it to Sanibel Island. Tucked away at the northern end of the five-mile long, one-half-mile wide Captiva Island, South Seas is between Pine Island Sound and the Gulf of Mexico, ensconced by two-and-a-half miles of powder-white beaches lapped by turquoise tides. The resort offers a range of accommodations of varying types, each steps from the Gulf of Mexico, including beach villas, marina villas, tennis villas and beach homes that are now available for reservations.
