I had no idea how to get to the Gasparilla Island/Boca Grande sandbar so we winged it and found the BEST spot to park & launch your watercraft right around the corner from the sandbar! The water is clear blue and amazing!
Check out the maps in the video which shows where to turn as you go over the toll bridge onto Gasparilla Island. The address for the kayak & paddleboard rental right there is 5810 Gasparilla Rd, Placida, FL 33946

I’ve been there hundreds of times! That’s actually an old railroad trestle taken out by an old hurricane! Love Boca!
Thanks for sharing your secrets! This is a new-to-us place! Loved it!
Fantastic, thank you! Happy paddling 🤙
Stunning, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much for watching! 🤩
I took my 9 wife's and they loved it, God bless America ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic!! Yes God bless our beautiful USA 🇺🇸
In the summer of 2021 my girls and me was the first time in my life in Florida. A dream came true. We completley felt in love.
You are really living in paradise! 😍
Best wishes from the gray clouded Germany.
Thank you so much! We definitely are very grateful to live in paradise and I’m glad I can bring a little bit of Florida to you and brighten your day ☀️
I could be wrong but I think that is actually an old railroad track that was used years ago until they moved all of the ports to tampa :) EIther way it is gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing
That’s really cool! Thank you so much! 🤩
Really beautiful. The water is so clear and blue. It really looks like a paradise there. 👍

🥳🥳🥳 Thank you so much!
Thank you! 🫶
Praying for this gorgeous place♡ 😖⛈
Me too 🙏 I asked around to see if the rail bridge is still standing over there and I believe it is. Thankfully Gasparilla Island didn’t take as much of a hit as expected 🙏
How deep does the water get along the old tracks? Over 5’?
On the side of the sandbar it's about waist deep, I was able to climb up the tracks to mount the GoPro so, not deep. On the other side of the tracks it drops off a bit, but all around that area you have patches of shallow clear blue water, it's stunning!
Hi I when there but I can’t fine the place that you launch by any chance you remember the street.
Hi, sorry for my delayed response! I don’t see a street name on Google earth, but I can see it’s the 2nd left after Kappys Market 👍
Can you rent fishing poles because I’m flying
There is a Marina nearby so, maybe 🤔
“I don’t want anyone to see that I’m sharing” got it CZcams? Lol
🤣🤣
New sub here! 😃
Those are the old trestles that the train use to come in on. The sand bar is still ch a neat spot to hang out! 🐠🏝🛶🎣
So cool! Thank you for watching and subscribing! 💙🤙
Awesome. What day/time were you there?
Thank you so much! We launched at 11am
@@EpicSaltyLife Where did you launch from?
Music influenced by an Allman?
Definitely!
Can you walk to sandbar
No you will need to paddle 🤙
How long peddle? This address for rental is the same to launch the pedalboard?
That's the old railroad tracks
Yes, really cool, it used to be the Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railway that serviced Gasparilla Island in Charlotte Harbor and a major shipping port that once operated there. The purpose was to transport phosphate mined along the Peace River and in the Bone Valley region of Central Florida to the port to be shipped.
Its gonna b even louder since you shared where to free park.
Not a pier. Old train tressel.
Correct 👍
