Local moves

·

Gasparilla Island has a toll bridge ($6.00 cash or SunPass) — plan for the fee on the way in.

·

Tarpon season (May–July) is the busiest time: the island fills with anglers and all parking is premium.

·

The state park fills early on weekends — arrive before 9 AM or use Park Ave and walk south.

·

Bicycles are the preferred island transport — every Boca Grande accommodation has rentals.
