TRAVEL TALK - - VOLUME 4 - - SPRING/SUMMER 2011

PALM ISLAND RESORT NEAR ENGLEWOOD, FL
One of our favorite places in Florida

We have been staying at Palm Island in Placida, Florida since around 1990. We have stayed on the beach side but also stay at the Marina apartments when kayak fishing in Charlotte Harbor. That's right, a ferry pass as Palm Island is one of the few barrier islands with no bridge from the mainland. The resort, iteself, does not allow cars past the parking lot so most of the families rent golf carts to tool around the island. The actual island name is Little Gasparilla Island and it has more homes than when we originally traveled there twenty years ago but still very much the feeling of old Florida in this area. Just north of Boca Grand and South of Englewood, the location is in some of the prime fishing areas of the state and a delightful place for a family reunion or weekend get away.

John's tip: Mainland Villas are the Best Cheap Vacation in Florida!
Mainland Marina apartments start at $115 a night

plus (7% state & 5% County) tax and you get a ferry pass to get across to the beach. These are 1 Bedroom Apartments that have a full kitchenette and outdoor gas bbq. Your view is of the active Marina with million dollar yachts and the ferry to the beach is just up the street. Visit Grande Tours for a kayak rental and enjoy some paddling in the beautiful estuary that is Charlotte Harbor or do some kayak fishing like we do for snook, redfish and trout. Captain Marion and Nemo (the dog) will welcome you to the nicest ecotourism spot in Florida. Take a day and go across to the lifestyles of the rich and famous island of Boca Grande. There is a very nice State Park on Boca Grand and another kayak drop at 19th Street. If you are looking for a cheap vacation, stop at Miss Cindy's for some fresh Charlotte Harbor farm raised little neck clams or fresh shrimp off the boat.
