Boca Grande, Barrier island residential community in Lee County, Florida
Boca Grande sits on Gasparilla Island, featuring white sand beaches along the Gulf of Mexico and natural deep waters at its southern pass.
The discovery of phosphate deposits near Punta Gorda in 1885 transformed Gasparilla Island's southern tip into a major shipping port with railroad connections.
The Boca Grande Art Alliance Exhibition presents works from regional artists in annual showcases that highlight Florida's coastal themes and maritime influences.
Visitors access the island via causeway or ferry service, with golf carts serving as the primary mode of transportation through the downtown district.
The Boca Grande Pass contains naturally deep waters that reach depths suitable for large vessels, making it Florida's deepest natural harbor passage.
