There are no paved roads or commercial establishments on the island, only miles of sandy trails flanked by tropical foliage. Take long leisurely walks or travel by golf cart down these paths to explore the beauty of the island. The peaceful, uncrowded beach provides plenty of room for you to bathe in the sun all day, enjoy outstanding shelling, bird watching, swimming, playing with your children, and beautiful water views, but best of all, the brilliant sunsets at the end of each perfect day. There is great fishing to be had in Placida Harbor for Snook, Trout, Redfish, Snapper and more, and in the world famous Boca Grande Pass you can try your hand at Tarpon fishing. Little Gasparilla Island is the ideal place to get away from the mainland madness. Come relax and unwind in a secluded tropical paradise.

LGI is for those seeking a respite from the hectic pace of the mainland and the hassles of everyday life. Escape to Little Gasparilla Island where you can Stay a Week or a Lifetime!

Return to Paradise

We have been vacationing on LGI for almost 20 years but this was our first visit to Docktails and it was wonderful. The house is well stocked and comfortable - lots of beach gear, towels, puzzles, etc. and a short walk to the beach. But as the name implies, the real star is the dock and outside porch; it is really perfect for hanging out and enjoying the peace of LGI. Tarpon Realty was terrific to work with, too, and very communicative. We will definitely be back!
