Most folks do not know that Gasparilla Island has a second lighthouse. It looks more like those lights in Maryland than the traditional lighthouses. But it has its own charm. Located at Gasparilla Island State Park, this lighthouse sits atop some sea grass dunes with wild flowers and of course, sea oats. This lighthouse was built in 1890 and is worth a stop if you find yourself somewheres near Charlotte Harbor. It's quite a drive to get there from the Venice or Fort Myers/Cape Coral area. But it's worth it. It's one of those places not well known outside of residents or lighthouse afficionados.You can find more information here:
