Shhhh!!! Florida's Best Kept Secret.... Be prepared for the $7 toll to cross the bridge. I promise it is worth the visit! Plan to spend an entire day here so you can rent a golf cart and cruise the entire island. The beaches are stunning and the history is exciting! Gasparilla Inn is one of the most beautiful historic hotels on the gulf coast. Don't miss this beautiful place!
