Little Gasparilla Island
Florida · United States
We visit the most southern tip of Gasparilla Island. This island is only accessible by boat and does not even allow cars. This place is magical because you are at the inlet pass where the bay meets the gulf of mexico. There is a beautiful boat up beach and a sand bar. The shelling and shark tooth hunting here are incredible as well. The dolphin always frequent this area and are generally very friendly and playful to guests swimming and boating in the area.
