A Boca Grande golf cart tour is by far the easiest and best way to really see Boca Grande.  There are several golf cart rental providers on island, including the Gasparilla Adventures, Boca Grande Marina and Kappy’s Market.

Rules of the Road for Boca Grande Golf Cart Tour

Boca Grande is one of the few places where golf carts share the road with cars, bicyclists and pedestrians.  It is important to know HOW you should operate a cart in Boca Grande, WHERE you are allowed to drive and WHO is allowed to drive. Golf cart operators should yield to everyone.  Cars, bicyclists and all pedestrians all have the RIGHT OF WAY over ALL GOLF CARTS at ALL TIMES.  Never drive too close to any person, bike, stroller or another cart.  Watch “Rules of the Road” video.
