“This is one of the best “Old Florida” Inn’s”
We took a road trip and wanted to visit the island known as Pine Island. Little did we know that there are three “communities” on Pine Island, Pineland, St. James City and Bokeelia. We took the time to visit all the areas, but we were truly in search of the famous “Tarpon Lodge”. It has been there since 1926 and has survived the 2004 Hurricane Charley where most of the 1926 structure was preserved. It is now on the National and State Historic Register! Once a little “fishing shack” is now a beautiful inn with a lot of history and a beautiful place to stay. The sunsets are breath taking and the quiteness is soothing. Plan to stay and enjoy the fresh air.
