This is a bridgeless, barrier island, which GREATLY adds to the old Florida charm of a uncrowded, relaxing beach vacation! There are no paved roads or commercial establishments on the island, only miles of sandy trails and beach walks. The beautiful beach and clear water allows for swimming or beach relaxing all day, shelling, bird watching, dolphin and manatee viewing, playing with your children, but best of all-the BRILLIANT sunsets at the end of each perfect day! Our nightlife consists of giant sea turtles laying their eggs, sunset walks, or golf cart rides around the island! Come get away from the mainland madness and visit our little hidden gem at LGI!
