We explored the park and enjoyed a beautiful day on the beach. Parking is $3.00 on the honor system and all $$ support the park. Bring your lunch and spend the day! more »

Historical state park. Not super big and no swimming but fun to walk around and play in the sand. Lots of cool sea shells! more »

Great location. Feels like the Keys / Caribbean. Clean, spectacular vista's. Great Beach's. Clean and we'll managed. Did not want to leave. Will always remember that sound of the surf and sea life. A gem of a place.

$6 toll keeps riff raff away from this idyllic beach. Head to the state park and have you $3 ready to pay to park. (Unattended, so no change.) Adequate bathrooms. Try to ignore the 1% tooling around, life on the beach is good.

Always a terrific day @Gasparilla Island SP. We love surf fishing there & always catch fish. Beach is clean, great for shelling, & it only costs $3 to bring your carload in for a whole day. Park guys are helpful& lighthouse tour is great. I enjoyed shopping in gift shop inside the lighthouse too! Great postcards, tshirts etc. Wear good sunscreen cuz sun is bright & UV Index varies between 6-10!

Love Boca Grande. Great beaches, light houses, and the Museum is the best. Beautiful waters and homes. Rent a gulf cart and explore the island, lots of fun.

Beautiful park and beach. Great shell hunting, there were many different types of shells scattered every where. The day we were there, they had a jelly fish warning posted. We also drove to see the banyon trees, they were pretty neat.
