Photos of the week: Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf Islands

Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf Islands is a lovely area in Southwest Florida.

Let me tell you in all honesty that I was truly impressed and I find myself daydreaming and planning a return (a week at least!) So for a world traveler that is a great sign right? šŸ™‚

Even though I did a bit of research online, nothing prepared me for what I saw and experienced. It is simply gorgeous!

What I really loved was the fact that there are no crowds, no high-riseĀ buildings and its inhabitants live peacefully and harmoniously with the environment.

What a nice change from the over hyped destinations on the East Coast of Florida (sorry Miami).

It is the perfect ecotourism destination for nature lovers. You can recharge your batteries and release all stress by being an active participant. There is so much to see and do like: sailing, kayaking and biking among many.

The following images were taken on my way to TheĀ Boca Grande Resort from a moving vehicle, nice results right?
