Pine Island Great Day Out


Find
Calusa Heritage Trail
Calusa Heritage Trail
the Calusa Heritage Trail in the heart of Pineland, a small community near the north end of Pine Island, where the story of the indigenous Calusa is told in beautifully illustrated plaques along a naturally landscaped trail.

Join the locals for a picnic lunch there, or head back down Stringfellow Road to Red’s Fresh Seafood House and Tavern, where local seafood (no surprise) takes center stage on a voluminous menu. With appetites for food sated, head to Matlacha for art gallery hopping or fishing from the “World’s Fishingest Bridge." For a final stop, pick up some fresh local fruit or preserves at Tropicaya, off-island on Pine Island Road.
