America’s Best Small Towns of 2023

"While the state of Florida welcomes nearly 140 million visitors each year, only a small portion of them make their way to serene Gasparilla Island and its main town, Boca Grande, an upscale yet down-to-earth community on the Gulf of Mexico that’s just the right amount of sleepy (except when it comes to its role as “Tarpon Capital of the World”)." - Travel + Leisure Editors

What a magical place! Not crowded, educational sight seeing, and nice beaches. Too bad the rich people are in bed with the politicians and are closing the island down to outsiders.

Beautiful area to drive around and visit. Plenty of restaurants. Sandy beaches with beautiful water. Seashells galore. Spectacular Light house .

**Beach Review** During our week-long stay, we had a very pleasant experience at the beach. Here are the main points of our review: - **Water**: The water is clean and calm, perfect for swimming and relaxing. - **Waves**: The beach has few waves, ideal for families and those who prefer a quieter sea. - **People**: The visitors are welcoming and friendly, making the environment even more enjoyable. - **Crowds**: The beach is not very crowded, allowing for a more peaceful and comfortable atmosphere. - **Ambiance**: Cozy and relaxing, ideal for those seeking rest and tranquility. It was a very pleasant week, and we recommend this beach to anyone looking for a calm and welcoming place to spend their vacation.

Glorious paradise, beautiful torquise water, not overcrowded. However unclear parking rules, makes it a bit stressful. Good shelling, shark teeth, and regularly see manatee. Most recent visit, a couple DOZEN swam right up to us as we were snorkling about 20 feet out from beach. This is an exceptionally clean beach. Very private, peaceful, and secluded vibe.

We love visiting Boca Grande Beaches and light house. It's a shame that the latest Hurricane damages the pristine beaches, boardwalks,etc.

Loved the island. It is very quiet and does not have much to do. But that is what I was looking for.

Very peaceful and beautiful! Not over crowded regardless of what time you go. The people we ran into were all nice and welcoming. Everyone picks up after themselves. White sand, clear water.
