Boca Grande

Located on a seven mile long barrier island called Gasparilla, Boca Grande is a step
back into "Old World" Florida, a carefully preserved part of Florida's history and beauty. Situated
on the Southwest coast of Florida, midway between Ft. Myers and Sarasota, Boca Grande is a retreat
for tourists and fishermen. |
| Here you can find a wealth of photographic opportunities, exceptional dining and
shops, which offer unique treasures from around the world. Boca Grande is a quiet community, and
boasts no high rises, no traffic lights, a 104 year old lighthouse and a street with 80 year old
Banyan trees. Pristine white sandy beaches stretch the entire Gulf side of the Island, while
protected waterways weave in and around the natural mangrove shoreline along the bayside. |

Boaters can explore thousands of acres
of estuary - where freshwater and saltwater blend to provide nurseries for the oceans fish species.
Recreational boating and sailing are popular, whether on your own or by tour or charter. Dolphins,
white pelicans, osprey, and manatees are only some of the species you will encounter. From the Gulf
of Mexico to the backwaters of Charlotte Harbor, the waters of Boca Grande abound with plentiful
game and food fish. Once you've discovered this hidden paradise, you will want to return again and
again.
