Gasparilla Island is famous for tarpon fishing. The town of Boca Grande itself is a jewel of Americana. this is off the beaten track, a piece of preserved old Florida. Bicycle, run, walk or roller blade past cottages like ours, or the houses of fabled American families. Use Boca Grande as a base to explore Sarasota where the Ringling Museum affords an excellent outing, or Ft. Mers, where the house of Thomas Edison preserves his laboratory (and is sited right next to Henry Ford's!) If you feel you must, Disney World is in striking distance, if you don't mind driving for a couple of hours each way.
