Plaže na Otok Gasparilla

Ko obiščemo NY, je to naše najljubše mesto za parkiranje in odhod na plažo. Kopalnice so trenutno pod popravilom, vendar je tuš še vedno funkcionalen. Poleg tega so na voljo Porta Potties za uporabo počivalnikov.

This beach is a fantastic place to visit where you can relax and learn at the same time. The lighthouse museum was very interesting with friendly staff, and the State Park rangers were very helpful. We learned a lot about the history of the island, such as why the water cisterns were placed there. We really enjoyed our time there, including the beautiful beach and the special treat of seeing a local manatee swimming back and forth for us. It was a wonderful day full of fun. However, the parking space is quite limited due to the narrow end of the island. We needed disabled parking, but the two spaces were already taken. I suppose the size of the area limits the available space.

Ta plaža ni idealna za družine z majhnimi otroki. Obstaja pomemben padec, veliko razbitih školjk in na dan obiska je bilo morje grobo. Kljub temu, da smo šli samo malo naprej, smo vseeno opazili nekaj rib. Vendar pa voda ni bila tako čista, kot smo pričakovali glede na ugled območja. (Obiskali smo jo sredi oktobra) Nismo naleteli na manatije ali druge divje živali. Cerkev je bila zaprta, vendar je bil muzej svetilnika odprt. Nismo šli noter, ker smo bili vsi v kopalkah. Našli smo 2 zoba morskih psov brez veliko iskanja, moji sinovi pa so zbrali nekaj večjih celih školjk. Obstajala je vstopnina in majhna parkirnina. V tem času leta je bila plaža večinoma zasedena s starejšimi ljudmi, razen naše skupine. Čeprav je bilo veliko ljudi, ki so ribarili s plaže, nismo videli, da bi kdo dejansko kaj ujel.
