Separated from the mainland by Charlotte Harbor and Pine Island Sound, this island is part of a chain of Gulf Coast barrier islands. The centerpiece of Gasparilla is the restored Port Boca Grande Lighthouse built in 1890.

A unique mixture of coastal and tropical hammock and mangrove forest, this barrier island provides a haven for several rare or endangered native tropical and coastal plant species.

Though it seems like the edge of the world, Bahia Honda State Park gives you a genuinely singular experience and the opportunity to enjoy the real wonder and beauty of Florida’s majestic Keys.
