Local Dining Favorites

Take a boat trip (call up the water taxi or hop on your own) to any of our local favorites:

  • Cabbage Key- A classic landmark burger joint on an island only accessible by boat (about a 10 mile boat ride)

  • Light House Grill and Tiki Bar- With seating under a thatched roof

  • Gasparilla Inn- A historic restaurant on Boca Grande. Coat required.

  • Rum Bay- A casual restaurant located at Palm Island Resort on Knight Island. Knight Island is connected to Little Gasparilla Island by beach, so if you're up for a long walk on the beach (about 4 miles each way), you could walk there. (It is not accessible by golf cart). You can also kayak or boat there.

  • Smokin’ Jerry’s Tiki Hut- Located at Gasparilla Marina
