Experience tarpon season where the island does more than welcome you — it enhances every cast.
Little Gasparilla Island sits off Florida’s southwest coast, offering direct access to some of the worlds best tarpon fishing. Staying on the island offers some great advantages for Tarpon focused guests!!!
Proximity to prime fishing grounds: Launch or get picked up by your expert fishing guides directly from island docks and reach tarpon hotspots faster. Less travel time means more time on the water.
Comfortable, angler-friendly vacation rentals: Choose lodging with fish-cleaning stations, a place to store gear, and community docks to park boats 24 feet or less, or rent a house with a private dock for larger boats
Rentals provide a place for non fishing family members to enjoy the amazing beaches and have a great place to unplug.
Its a great location to unwind after a busy day on the water. Grab a beverage, watch the sunset and unwind.
Local knowledge and support: Nearby captains and bait shops know tides, tarpon movement, and best launch points. Staying on-island keeps you close to these resources and the real-time intel that turns good days into great ones.
Plan for tarpon season on Little Gasparilla by booking early, choose a rental that meets everyone’s needs. Condo’s are available with pool access and ferry service for families. Beach front homes to enjoy sunsets, Bay front homes to get that sunrise view with your coffee before heading out for the day. And inland homes, that let you recharge and get back at it!
Make this tarpon season more efficient, peaceful, and productive — stay on Little Gasparilla Island and put every moment on the water to work.
Escape to Paradise - Your Perfect Island Getaway!
Welcome to Little Gasparilla Island. The island shows the resilience of nature and the island residents in the best ways. For those that have been here for many years, the island has a new, more open look with less foliage but white sand and open views. Although there were houses lost to Hurricanes Ian, Helene and Milton, many property owners are rebuilding which is exciting and we look to have several new “old” houses back on line over the next 12 months.
LGI is the perfect spot to host small interest groups. Think about hosting your writer’s retreat, wellness weekend, or quilting workshop on LGI. Housing options for shared accommodations or single occupancy are available. We hosted our first “WaterColor Workshop” which was lots of fun. Keep an eye out for options throughout the year.
LGI is a great place to bring your friends and enjoy the island together but have some private time. Think “cruise ship vacation on an amazing barrier island”. Ask about houses close together to create your own neighborhood on the island for your stay! We have exciting options for multiple house rentals that are located in the same area so you might have one family in a beach house, another in an interior house on the same lane or close by and one on the bay and enjoy getting together easily for daily sunsets, cocktails on a deck, game night or other family fun. Let Terry assist you in planning a great group vacation!
