Rent a kayak and explore the sheltered waters of Matlacha Pass and the Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve. For those who prefer to rough it, you can camp at several island facilities or head for those across the sound at Cayo Costa Island State Park, which are accessible only by boat. Fish off the Matlacha Drawbridge. Hire a fishing guide to find you some fresh fish or take a cruise on one of the many water-taxis or tourboats, which will take you to the islands of Cabbage Key, Cayo Costa and Useppa. You'll definitely want to check out the local shops, dine and relax at a number of local and waterfront restaurants that specialize in fresh seafood that are served in a casual, relaxing atmosphere. You might also want to stop by and check out Pine Island's Post Office — one of the country’s smallest — as well as its sole golf course. In addition, you won't want to miss Mango Mania — an event attracting thousands of visitors that is held each summer to celebrate the mango harvest, or the annual mullet toss in March. Both of these events see entrants vying for a place in the Guiness Book of World Records for the biggest mango grown and the furthest distance for tossing a mullet.
