Located in the village of Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island is the Boca Grande Post Office. It is situated on the corner of 4th Street West and West Railroad Avenue in a shared building with other businesses.

The first post office was established on Gasparilla Island in 1910 and later in 1949 it was moved to Placida on the mainland.

The building that the current post office is in was originally built in 1912 as the Boca Grande Mercantile. It was a two story structure but a fire destroyed the second floor and the salvaged building was remodeled as a single story structure. During this time the red brick was stuccoed over to what it is today.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
