a 25-min drive and pay-toll over the bridge will get you to Boca Grande, a wealthy, beautiful island. Stroll the shoppes downtown, grab a bite, and walk down Banyon Street before heading to the lighthouse for amazing Gulf views. WARNING do not recommend swimming at this lighthouse due to strong rip tides!

Simply the best beach ever. This is a local favorite and used to be a well kept secret, but that time has passed! Get there early for parking. Please don't take too many shells or sharks' teeth - it erodes the beach!

Captain Van Hubbard is a local legend- a highly knowledgeable fishing guide in our area. We recently went on a trip and caught all we could eat! He is great with kids and adults- our 9 year old and 70 year old were equally entertained and delighted. Would not fish with anyone else!!
