Top-5 Friday: Gasparilla Island is The Perfect Place to Launch Your Yacht

Beloved by old Hollywood star Katherine Hepburn, Gasparilla Island is a small island just off the Gulf coast of Florida. It’s small enough to feel exclusive, but not so tiny to feel isolated.

And, because of The Gasparilla Act, the island won’t be changing much, at least anytime soon. According to the Wall Street Journal, “The Gasparilla Act, a state law passed in 1980, put a tight lid on population density, building heights and commercial development.”

The island is so small, in fact, that golf carts, particularly those tricked out and customized to resemble classic cars, are the best way to get around. Harrison Ford is a frequent visitor to the island, so keep your eyes peeled!
