Boca Grande Hotel

Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island, Florida, Is America's Best Small Beach Town

"I stayed on the north end at the quaint Boca Grande Hotel near Uncle Henry’s Marina; it has an outdoor pool, rentable loungers you can bring to the beach, a guest laundromat, and Kappy’s Market next door for deli sandwiches and ice cream, though the closest public beach access is about three miles away." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
