Accessible only by boat or ferry, the island offers a peaceful setting far removed from the crowds. Little Gasparilla is a bridgeless barrier island, so you will need your own boat or arrange the water taxi/ferry service to come and go. Days here are spent wandering along miles of unspoiled shoreline collecting seashells, enjoying the gentle Gulf breeze, or casting a line in some of Southwest Florida's best fishing waters.
