Located directly in between Sarasota and Ft. Myers on Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast, Little Gasparilla is as close as you can get to Old Florida! There are no paved roads or commercial establishments on the island, only miles of sandy trails flanked by tropical foliage. Take long leisurely walks or travel by golf cart down these paths to explore the beauty of the island. The peaceful, uncrowded beach provides plenty of room for you to bathe in the sun all day, enjoy outstanding shelling, bird watching, swimming, playing with your children, and beautiful water views, but best of all, the brilliant sunsets at the end of each perfect day. There is great fishing to be had in Placida Harbor for Snook, Trout, Redfish, Snapper and more, and in the world famous Boca Grande Pass you can try your hand at Tarpon fishing. Little Gasparilla Island is the ideal place to get away from the mainland madness. Come relax and unwind in a secluded tropical paradise.
LGI is for those seeking a respite from the hectic pace of the mainland and the hassles of everyday life. Escape to Little Gasparilla Island where you can Stay a Week or a Lifetime!
