A brief overview of Cabbage Key

Welcome to our island. One hundred acres of tropical vegetation surround our historic restaurant, inn and cottages. A panoramic view of Pine Island Sound is provided from our front porch atop a thirty-eight foot Indian shell mound. There are no cars here, not even a paved road. You will find winding nature trails, picturesque views and relaxation .

We are accessible only by boat, helicopter or seaplane. Regularly scheduled boats run everyday from Pine Island, Captiva Island and Punta Gorda. Remote and self-reliant, we do things "the Cabbage Key way," a style reminiscent of the nearly extinct old Florida. During the day many visitors stop in for one of our famous Cheeseburgers. Nightlife is usually defined by a hearty meal in our restaurant, perhaps followed by some cordial conversation or entertainment in the famous Dollar Bill Bar. Gazing across the water reveals a sprawling canopy of stars and twinkling lights on the ICW. Early retirement with a book may be a choice in preparation for tomorrow's sunrise over Pine Island Sound.

There is no general store on the Island, so bring all the things you'll need for your stay, including a flashlight.

On occasion, we host large groups and things can get lively as the boats arrive and the bar fills. Discuss your needs and expectations with our helpful staff when making reservations.

Explore our web site, learn more about us and our sister resort, Tarpon Lodge - and then, if you would like to live a few days "the Cabbage Key way," call us for a reservation. We look forward to having you as our guest
