Little Gasparilla Island Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Little Gasparilla Island
is part of a group of barrier islands off the southern Gulf Coast of Florida between Fort Myers and Sarasota. Little Gasparilla Island is only accessible by boat, and has no bridges, highways or cars. If you are looking for a place to go swimming, fishing, shelling, crabbing, snorkeling, diving or birdwatching without crowds, stores or fast food restaurants, then Little Gasparilla Island is for you. This is the closest you will come to feeling like you are a castaway on a remote island paradise. You’ll want to load up on groceries, books, music, sunscreen and other essentials in Englewood before catching the ferry to Little Gasparilla Island. Visitors can bring their own boats, or rentals are available on the island. Nearby Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island also has bicycle, boat and kayak rentals, as well as fine dining, art galleries and upscale shopping. Other nearby places to visit includes the Don Pedro Island State Recreation Area, the lighthouse on Boca Grande Pass and Cedar Point Park in Englewood.
The Southwest Region of Florida, between Sarasota and Fort Myers, has comfortable weather year round. At 5 to 25 feet above sea level, the region has a subtropic climate that is checked by the tempering influence of the Gulf of Mexico. The Peace River, as well as the Gulf of Mexico, contributes to the hot and humid climate in the summertime (but it's not unbearable due to cooling Gulf breezes.)Prevailing winds are normally 12-18 mph. The rainy season lasts from June through September, with rain spread fairly evenly throughout those months. Thunderstorms tend to pop up quickly but also dissipate just as quickly, with the sunshine quickly returning. The winters are lovely with warm afternoons and mild evenings and much less rain. Hurricane season generally runs late summer through late October in the Gulf of Mexico.
