Miles of sand at South Seas Island Resort in Florida

Through shrewd investments a century or more ago, or by just being ahead of the crowds, some fabled beach resorts occupy such a prime stretch of real estate that it boggles the mind. South Seas Island Resort is one of those cases. On its own peninsula at the end of Captiva Island near Fort Meyers, Florida, this once-remote area has grown into a whole village that has 2.5 miles of white-sand beaches and enough activities to keep families going for a week.

I had trouble even figuring out how many “rooms” this place had and finally gave up on the math. There are a few conventional hotel-type rooms, but most of the lodging here is in something larger: condos, villas, or whole homes rented out by the owners. It all goes into one giant rental pool available to the reservations agents matching guests to the right set-up.

With beautiful paved roads and trees shading the whole area, I walked across the road only to be met by a fellow pulling a rickshaw. He came up to me and asked where I wanted to go. Seated in the rickshaw I tried to bask in the glory of this fascinating city I had come to – Pondicherry . Earlier a French colony, Pondicherry today is Union Territory in India. Pondicherry literally means new village. The entire city is based on the pattern of French construction with a grid pattern. The whole city is divided into sectors which are perpendicular to each other. There is a French region here and an Indian region. The French portion of the city is known as the Ville Blanche which in French means the White Town. The Indian portion is known as the Ville Noire or the Black Town. The French influence is still seen here in the form of the names of the roads and the villas here. French villas are very common in the city and the buildings built in the colonial style still are seen in the beautiful city of Pondicherry. The large doors and windows and the verandahs outside the house are typically French and people in Pondicherry still speak a lot of French. Even today there are a lot of people here living with French passports. The French Consulate is a major French monument existing even today besides the French Institute of Pondicherry, the Alliance Francaise and the Lycee Francais de Pondicherry.

The locals here speak a variety of languages ranging from Malayalam to Tamil and from Telugu to French. French is the official language in the Union Territory, Tamil in the Government. Pondicherry has a lot of Tamil influence as it is near the state of Tamil Nadur. Koel, Squirrel, cannonball’s tree flower and Bael fruit tree occupy special position as the state bird, animal, flower and tree respectively.
