Just 3 miles from Turner Beach is Jensen's Marine. Purchased in 1977 by the late Richard “Red” Jensen with some partners. He opened Jensen’s “On the Gulf” Beach Resort down the road about a year later. The Engles family built the cottages in the 1950’s. Red Jensen built the cottages at the gulf-side property. Today, part of the 14 cottages and 35-slip marina is designated historic by Lee County. The Jensens have become an inextricable part of the island community. Nicknamed the “guardian angels of Pine Island Sound.” This amazing island institution that has been Jensen’s has been here for more than 40 years. A beautiful piece of property as well as Captiva history. (credit Florida Weekly) Tween Waters Resort combines historic charm with luxurious amenities. The resort was established by F.
