Boca Grande District to explore: Park Avenue Boca Grande has long attracted the wealthier set as a natural seaside haven, but its Old Florida charm is for everyone to enjoy. After walking along the three blocks of downtown, you can explore the well-preserved historical sites of the Gasparilla Inn and the 1890 Boca Grande Lighthouse. If you’re in the need for any supplies before hitting the beach or just want some Boca Grande spirit to take with you, hit up Holly’s Island Shop
