Gasparilla Island

GASPARILLA ISLAND – is small but unique to fishermen and tourists. Situated in the Gulf of Mexico, off the south coast of Florida and the Bay of Charlotte Harbor, this ‘sun-kissed’ island has the small town of Boca Grande in the center and an old world charm of rustic homes, miles and miles of lazy beaches, bike paths and of course boast to be, “The Tarpon Fishing Capital of the World”.

Fishing off this coast is what made this island popular in recent years. Outside of the Tarpon Season, grouper, snapper, mackerel and kingfish and inshore snook and redfish offer year round fishing fun.

Accommodation is available from quaint Inns and home vacation rentals in many of the grand holiday homes and restaurants cater for the most discerning of sea foods. For perfect relaxation for the whole family to ‘unwind’ and for fisherman to chase that trophy or simply to ‘bring home the bacon’ of a fine days catch – Gasparilla Island is hard to beat.
