About Boca Grande

What are the best hotels in Boca Grande?

Boca Grande is a charming little village on Florida’s Gasparilla Island, known for its powder-soft white beaches, clear Gulf waters, historic streets and wonderfully unhurried pace of life. It’s a lovely spot for fishing, boating and lazy afternoons by the sea, with a handful of stylish places to stay rather than sprawling, crowded resorts. The Gasparilla Inn & Club is the standout, with classic Florida character, pretty rooms and cottages, a beach club, spa, fine dining and plenty to keep active families and couples happy. It’s a special choice for a relaxed coastal escape with a touch of old-school glamour.
