Park itself is closed for whatever they’re doing. There’s no notice that you drive up to a police officer sitting in the middle of the driveway. And you basically have to go fend for yourself.Full review by Michael C

Not sure about the boat ride but it is quite a distance from the park at the tip of the island to the village center. At the tip there is just the park and a restaurant within walking distance. If you take a boat just to the park at the tip you would have a very long walk to anywhere. A car would work better. If you can take a bike on the boat then you would be all set. From the toll bridge to the tip of the island is about 7 miles with the village about in the middle. Nice bike ride on the bike path but a bit of a hike on foot in warm weather.

There are a number of swimming beaches. Because my friend's husband is handicapped, we used the fee related area. It was very large (recently expanded apparently). However, it was not crowded, probably because of the fee associated with it. Own her own, my friend has visited the non fee beaches on Gasparilla Island. There are companies that will take one out on fishing boats.
