Cabbage Key is an island consisting of approximately 100 acres of tropical paradise with a feeling of remoteness as it is only reachable by boat. It lies in Pine Island Sound just west of Fort Myers. Though most Floridians have likely never stepped foot on this piece of Old Florida, it has been a destination for anglers and boaters for over 60 years. It is the kind of place where you can grab a meal or “belly up” to the bar to find yourself alongside a celebrity seeking the same welcoming hospitality and laidback charm the island offers. Legend has it that the late, great Jimmy Buffett wrote ..read more

Night falls on the Caloosahatchee River in Fort Myers. PHOTO BY DAVE POLLARD /Toronto Sun Classic cars and snappy songs. And, maybe, if you’re lucky, a cheeseburger in paradise. Yes, Fort Myers and the surrounding area, including Captiva and Sanibel islands, has all that – it was the winter home of Henry Ford (and Thomas Edison, for that matter), hosts the annual Island Hopper Songwriters Fest, and nearby Cabbage Key was allegedly the inspiration for one of Jimmy Buffett’s more well-known songs – and more for Canadian snowbirds to discover … if your timing is right. Fort Myers, roughly 200 k ..read more

Cabbage Key, Florida, has attracted famous guests like Ernest Hemingway and Jimmy Buffett. PHOTO: VITO PALMISANO/GETTY IMAGES Set off the coast of Fort Myers lies a 100-acre island that feels like it has been preserved in amber. It’s the type of “Swiss Family Robinson”-style retreat that represents a bygone Florida and has attracted famous writers and heiresses — not to mention presidents Carter and Kennedy. The 112-acre island on the Pine Island Sound was first inhabited by the Calusa people and Cuban fishermen. And in 1875, it appeared on maps with the name Palmetto Key. PHOTO: DRIENDL GR ..read more

A cottage for rent on Cabbage Key, a Southwest Florida tourist destination named for the many cabbage palm trees on the island. CABBAGE KEY, Florida – There’s no beach here, no pool, no high-rise condos. What you’ll find on tiny Cabbage Key: an historic lodge, nature trails, a terrific restaurant that (perhaps) inspired Jimmy Buffett, and most strikingly, an old-time Florida vibe that’s fading fast elsewhere around the state. Cabbage Key is a small island – just 112 acres – located in Pine Island Sound, west of Fort Myers. Its first inhabitants were the Calusa Indians, who left behind a larg ..read more

Take a Ride to Cabbage Key Take a ride with Captiva Cruises, conveniently located in the South Seas’ Marina, and you’ll find yourself on Cabbage Key, a landmark destination with quite a few interesting residents. The island is home to the ubiquitous anoles – small lizards, either brown or black – strewn throughout the island’s paths and trees, but also to a robust gopher tortoise population. Neither reptile is shy, but they aren’t as curious as the third inhabitant of Cabbage Key – Florida’s famed manatees. There’s not an accurate way to describe the sheer magnitude of these gentle mammals, sa ..read more
