Boca Grande & Outer Islands Great Day Out
Jump
  Barnacle Phil's |
Useppa Island provides a nice stopover on a Captiva Cruises tour. Have lunch at the Collier Inn and step back in time at the Barbara Sumwalt Museum. Cabbage Key, with its inn, cottages and restaurant, is an alternative for lunch in a more casual atmosphere. Climb the water tower here for a spectacular view of surrounding waters and islands.
North Captiva is favored for shelling and for dining at Barnacle Phil’s (famous for its black beans). And Cayo Costa is an experience unto itself. The barrier island is mostly comprised of a state park, which has sweeping beaches, tent campsites, picnic tables, primitive cabins (they’re not kidding – but the bunk mattresses are quite comfy), bathrooms, showers and rare, beachfront seclusion. The cost of admission to this piece of paradise? Only $2 per person for day use.
