Gasparilla -- An Island Like No Other!:
At only 7 miles long and 1 miles wide, Gasparilla is one of the most exclusive islands off the Florida coast. US Presidents and many celebrities vacation here to enjoy the quiet beauty of this island paradise. Here you can get away from it all -- the island has no fast food restaurants, stoplights or high-rise condos. You can even park your car and rent a golf cart to explore the charming village and island sights.
ISLAND SIGHTSEEING:
If you want to go beyond leisurely beach walks, bicycling, exploring state parks, and browsing the little shops in town, there are a number of unique sightseeing options. Take a seaplane tour of several islands, charter a boat to Cabbage Key or Don Pedro State Park, or embark on an AMAZING sunset cruise for dolphin watching.
DAY TRIP DETAILS:
Gasparilla Island and Boca Grande are terrific spots to get away from it all and just relax. But if you want, you can take leisurely drives for day trips to Sarasota, Sanibel Island and Venice.
