Shopping in Boca Grande

Shopping in Boca Grande Boca Grande's main shopping and dining venue is along Gasparilla Road, which turns into Park Avenue as soon as it hits the four-way stop by the Gasparilla Inn. East Railroad Avenue is also a haven for exclusive boutiques and eateries, as well as benches under shady tropical trees. It's not unusual for an iguana to stoll over and take a peek at a weary shopper. You won't find any fast food restaurants, chain stores or gas stations here — just small, quaint specialty stores with inventory that ranges from tourist chic to high-end Rodeo Drive. When you've shopped til you drop, stop in at one of intimate restaurants such as South Beach Grille, Boca Bistro or PJ's Sea Grille for a cold, refreshing drink and delicious sampling of local gourmet cookery.
