Description
Located at the mouth of the Charlotte Harbor on Gasparilla Island and popularly known as the "Tarpon Fishing Capital of the World," Boca Grande is not just a town for fishing aficionados. Although seasonally inundated with tarpon fishers, Boca Grande maintains a "quaint village" feeling and provides a look into a Florida from a bygone era. The town has no traffic lights nor modern high rises, and charms visitors with a great downtown historic shopping district, a 100-year-old lighthouse, high-end restaurants, boat rental stores, charter tours, and galleries that feature art inspired by the beautiful surroundings.
