Set out on 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 an extensive menu.

With appetites for food sated, head to Matlacha for art gallery perusing or fishing from the “World’s Fishingest Bridge."
