In 1890 The Boca Grande Lighthouse and assistant lighthouse
keeper's house were built on Gasparilla Island at the Boca Grande Pass into
Charlotte Harbor on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The lighthouse and assistant keeper's house are now part of
the Gasparilla Island State Park and have been turned into a museum.
They are located on a beautiful, white sand beach and
I was told that there is some pretty good deep-sea big-game fishing in the Gulf
of Mexico outside Charlotte Harbor. Unfortunately, when I visited the island
the museum had closed for the day about 15 minutes before I got there. I guess
this calls for another visit to Gasparilla Island State Park, a not altogether bad
circumstance. Actually, I'd really like to check this beach out again during a warmer
season. I just might find some fine mermaid specimens there.
