School Tours

We require one chaperone for every 10 students; each chaperone should be assigned a group of 10 students prior to arrival.

We encourage you to utilize the park’s beaches as part of your students’ experience here at Gasparilla Island State Park. Please be sure no live shells are removed from the park.

Groups larger than 20 students should be broken into smaller groups.

The park has a covered picnic pavilion, and is a great place to have lunch.

The fee to enter Gasparilla Island State Park is $35/bus or $.75 per person, whichever is less. We request a $3/person donation for the museum tour. Please make checks payable to: Boca Grande Lighthouse Museum.

There is a $5.50/ axle charge for busses to cross the Boca Grande Causeway. There is a $6.00/ vehicle charge for cars and trucks. There is a 40,000 pound “gross vehicle weight” limit for 3 axle vehicles and a 37,000 “gross vehicle weight” limit for 2 axles on the bridge. Some buses exceed this weight. Please call the Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority at (941) 697-2271 if you have any questions.
