Old Florida – Boca Grande

by admin — Categories: Boca GrandeNo Comments

Boca Grande is a small residential community on Gasparilla Island, in southwest Florida. Gasparilla Island is a part of both Charlotte and Lee Counties, while the actual village of Boca Grande, which is home to many seasonal and some year-round residents, is entirely in the Lee County portion of the island. It is part of the Cape Coral–Fort Myers Metropolitan Statistical Area. Boca Grande is known for its charming authentic downtown, sugar sand beaches, blue water, and world class fishing.

Its name – Spanish for “Big Mouth” – comes from the mouth of the waterway, called Boca Grande Pass, at the southern tip of the island.

When you think of going to Orlando in Florida for a holiday, you will probably think of all the well known venues that are there to visit. For instance Disney World and Universal Studios will probably be high on your list of places to go.

Don’t restrict yourself to the obvious locations to visit. Make sure you also visit some of the lesser known ones, such as Leu Gardens for example.

Your first reaction will probably be, “What are the Leu Gardens? I’ve never even heard of them.” This is common – not many people outside Orlando in Florida know what these gardens are, and they may not even be remotely familiar to them.

In actual fact Leu Gardens is a wonderful place to see because it is just about as far away as you could get from the traditional theme parks that are dotted all over Orlando. There are 50 acres to explore once you get here, so the best bet is to pack up a picnic, get yourself some supplies for the day and prepare to enjoy as much of the gardens as you possibly can.
