About Boca Grande Florida
Boca Grande Is a barrier island located in Lee County Florida. It's home to many seasonal as well as year-round residents. Boca Grande is known for its historic downtown, sugar sand beaches, blue water and world class fishing. It’s name (Boca Grande) in Spanish means Big Mouth which is referencing the main channel (Boca Grande Pass) between Cayo Costa and the island of Boca Grande. The pass was used as a busy shipping point for many years, as the waters in the pass are naturally deep. The port processed phosphate from the Bone Valley region which was loaded onto waiting ocean-going cargo vessels via the Seaboard Air Line Railroad at the dock located on the southern tip of the island. Shipping via the Port of Boca Grande ceased in the late 1970's as it was more cost effective to use the port of Tampa. Boca Grande has a lot of history for a small island with a population estimated @ 1200 and many more that come to vacation here year-round it will be a great vacation destination for you and the family. Fishing, shelling, beaching, boating, relaxing are just a few of the many activities you can enjoy
