Security is important! There is just one property left with Exclusive Beachfront having 125′ on the Gulf and 125′ on the inland waterway at the end of a private road. Security is a big part of Palm Island and is why islanders prefer being the last bridge free barrier island between Sarasota and Lee County serviced by regular car ferries. The Ferry system acts like a guard gate to the island, and requires a ferry pass for all passengers and vehicles to access the island. The large lot is zoned for building a large home and guest house with private boat dock. The certified survey attached in the photos states that the size of the. property is 1.16 acres. This island has both paved and sand roads, crystal clear turquoise gulf water, seven miles of soft sandy beaches, no high rise building, no traffic, and no stoplights. Nature abounds here. If you did not know, you would believe that you were in the Bahamas. Cars and golf carts travel all island roads. Because the island is located directly across the intracoastal waterway, two ferries operate approx every 15 minutes, one from the island and the other from the landside loading dock. Each ferry can carry eight automobiles or two 18 wheel tractor trailer trucks. See Photo. The island has underground utilities including electric, city water, and cable. Major box stores are only 1-3 miles from the landside dock. The small resort at the north end offers the public and islanders a tropical restaurant and bar, ice cream store with some provisions, and golf cart rentals. The food is good and the bar is very friendly! You have arrived, and now you will enjoy the tropical breezes, sound of wave, miles of beach shells, and the peace and quiet you Deserve.
