Boca Grande is beautiful with beaches, 2 lighthouses, great shops and restaurants. This is a beautiful area to ride bikes or to walk around and check out the sites. Go see the view from the top of the lighthouse! It's AMAZING and worth the half hour drive there.

You can climb to the top of the lighthouse, rent it out for special occasions, visit the museum next door and enjoy a nice dinner, sunset included.

There is a toll of $7.00 going on to the island. Museum with docent, gift shop, manatees and dolphins visible off of beach facing south. Gasparilla island State Park is a must see place to visit with our friends and relatives who are are visiting from the cold north. Restored lighthouse museum with shell collections, good displays with old photographs and the evolution of the area, people-wise and commercially, and a gift shop with mementos, books, shells, posters and other things..There is usually a volunteer docent to provide commentary on the history of the area. We were able to see manatees and dolphins in the water and brown pelicans diving into the water retrieving fish. There is a $3 parking fee to get into the park but none to visit the museum, once you are in. Many folks sunbathe on the beaches.If you get there early in the mornings, you have a chance to find some interesting shells. The ($7 fee) bridges that bring you onto Gasparilla Island give you a good look at the light blue and turquoise waters and the old trestles that held up a now defunct railroad. Truly memorable sites. As is one block of Banyan Street on your way down to the state park. Driving through the village be careful and considerate of the "golf" carts, there are quite a few.
