Famous lighthouse on ocean shore and expensive residential houses in island small town Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island in southwest Florida
A fantastic little island off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. Walks on the beach and sharing time with family and friends are the main attraction here. Oh, and fantastic sunsets!!
Little Gasparilla Island sunsets on cloudy days are fantastic!
Had a nice boat ride south of Venice to the Rum Bay Restaurant with our good friends John and Marie. Great food and good laughs.
