From Punta Gorda/Placida: Boat Tour to Cabbage Key & Beaches｜United States

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Cruise to Cabbage Key from Punta Gorda or Placida and enjoy a meal at the restaurant that inspired Jimmy Buffet's song "Cheeseburger in Paradise." Admire the island's history and picturesque views, and climb the water tower for great photos.

Board the boat and set sail to Cabbage Key, a rustic, "old Florida" hideaway. The island features an inn and restaurant built in 1938 by Alan Rhinehart and Gratia Rhine Hart. The island was purchased for $2,500.00. Alan’s mother Mrs. Mary Rhinehart was a very successful writer in the 1920s.

The restaurant sits atop a Calusa Indian shell mound and offers panoramic views of Pine Island Sound. Cabbage Key offers no beaches, just great food and drinks in a tropical setting. There is a nature trail and water tower that can be climbed for great photos. Lunch is not included in price or tip to the dockmaster. Please bring $5 for dockmaster.

After your time on the island, there will be time to stop at a sandbar to relax in the
Florida sun. Then take a relaxing trip back to Punta Gorda. T The trip
from Punta Gorda to Cabbage Key is 45 minutes approximately. I recommend the six hour trip to Cabbage Key during weekends and holidays so you have time at the sandbar.
