Visit Florida Gallery

In 2015, Visit Florida featured a series of articles about our Florida Scenic Highways. A different photographer took photos of each byway as part of this project, giving us a wonderful window on each byway. Lemon Bway/Myakka Trail Scenic Highway was photographed by Luis Santana. All images are copyrighted by Luis Santana and Visit Florida, and cannot be used for any other purpose than this gallery.

Historic Gasparilla Island Light was originally built in 1888 in Lewes, Delaware and later moved and reconstructed in 1927 on Gasparilla Island. It is one of the few remaining original rear range light structures in the state, and possibly the only one that has resided in two states. Currently, you can stand by the side of the road or on the beach to view and photograph this historic structure, but you cannot climb it. That is until it is restored! Plans are underway to transfer this light to BIPS. It is our intention to restore it to its former beauty which includes painting the lantern room black.
