Boca Grande is an Island also known as Gasparilla Island. It is found along the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of Charlotte Harbor. Boca Grande is a quiet island town, rich with history. The island is a permanent home for some, but is more traditionally an island getaway unspoiled by heavy commercialization. Boca Grande is home to the Worlds richest Tarpon Tournament, but when not fishing for the famous Silver King in the Boca Grande Pass, many other sport fish can be found such as snook, redfish, grouper,king fish, and trout in the backwaters of Charlotte Harbor, Gasparilla Sound, or just off shore in the Gulf of Mexico. Boca Grande also boasts it own golf course and is a short drive from seven off-island golf courses. If fishing and golfing are not your things, you will surely find enjoyement in the miles of peaceful white sandy beaches, boutique shops in the quiet downtown district, or even a spa getaway.
