If you're an outdoor enthusiast or nature lover looking for a beach with a difference in the Punta Gorda area, why not take a trip over to Little Gasparilla Island ? It's a tiny little island and regarded by locals as one of the area's best-kept secrets. No roads or bridges run over to Little Gasparilla Island, so the only way to get here is by water. You can simply reserve passage on a water taxi, or if you're feeling adventurous, you can rent a kayak or even sign up for a guided kayaking tour with one of the operators in the area. Kayaking around Little Gasparilla Island and the surrounding waters is a lot of fun, and the island has some soft, secluded, sandy beaches for people of all ages to enjoy as well. This is a great place to really embrace nature and feel a million miles away from civilization, with many turtles and different species of birds being spotted around Little Gasparilla Island as well.
