Sightseeing
If you’ve been wanting to explore the barrier islands around Gasparilla Sound in southwest Florida, there are some fun and unique things to do in Boca Grande, although the true beauty of this island is found doing less, not more.
There’s a quality of life in some remote parts of southwest Florida that demands a slower pace — the small towns and barrier islands that were slow to grow and develop along with the rest of Florida, but now find themselves richer from the lack of big infrastructure or tourism draws. Places like Boca Grande, which blissfully feels like time has passed it by.
