Gasparilla Island State Park, State park in Gulf Coast, Florida
The park spans across a barrier island with white sand beaches, crystal waters, and a historic lighthouse at its southern end point.
The Port Boca Grande Lighthouse, constructed in 1890, stands as the park's central landmark and now functions as a museum displaying regional artifacts.
The park preserves natural Florida coastal environment while offering visitors opportunities to observe native wildlife including manatees, dolphins, and nesting shorebirds.
The park maintains five parking areas along the Gulf beach, with daily access from 8 AM until sunset for a fee of three dollars per vehicle.
Located at the south end of Gasparilla Island, the park includes the Boca Grande Pass, recognized globally as a primary destination for tarpon fishing.
