This gorgeous little island is an historic fishing village and artist community. It is a place where island-life meets friendly residents, great fishing, amazing seafood, and quorky, yet creative attractions. You will get a feel for the quaint, old-Florida life that created the history of Matlacha.
“The story goes that a while back two fellows were hired to pace off building lots east of the bridge across Matlacha Pass. One stood a mere 5’3″, the other towered 6’4″. No surprise that folks at the bait shops, cottages and gallaries along the road’s north side can gossip by leaning out their windows, while to the south, a friendly chat might mean having to walk a spell to a neighbor’s porch.” – Herb Miller
