Was nice scenery but summer is off season

The island busy season is in the Winter. We went in summer. The locals were friendly which was nice. Very little was open. We rented a golf cart for the whole day and would have been happy for just 4 hours. Most of the restaurants...More

Our paradise has been ruined

We have been coming here for 20 years. My husband and I even got married by the lighthouse at sunset. However, the idiots emptying the polluted water from Lake Okeechobee into the pristine Gulf,have caused the toxic red tide to ravage our paradise. Can't go...More

Nice day!

This is a very nice beach. Am I spoiled because Siesta Key isn’t that much further? Yes, but they have some nice places to grab a bite and it’s a friendly place without all the crazy traffic. We tried to reach it by boat once...More

Our favorite beach in the area.

This beach is just far enough off the beaten path that it never seems crowded. Perhaps this has to do with the time of year (the end of the high season) or perhaps the $6 toll to cross over the bridge from the mainland also...More

_rebekahfernandez

been hearing a lot of things on the news about bacteria levels that are dangerous and the red tide concerns as well. Have things cleared up at Boca Grande beaches? We're flying out this Sunday and have lots of beach days plan with the kids

Red tide can change from day to day depending on which direction the winds are blowing. Please check the Mote Marine website as they monitor the beaches.
