Things To Do
Once you arrive at the island, we recommend renting a golf cart which is often the easiest (and most fun) way to travel Boca Grande. There is a golf cart path which nearly stretches the length of the island. Renting a cart is not mandatory by any means, but it provides a more fun experience. Below, please find some of our suggested golf cart rental locations.
Gasparilla Island Lighthouse

It is one of only six lighthouses in Florida to be open to the public, and the only one on the west coast.
