This resort, built in 1883, offers guests sailing trips to an isolated island via a 38-foot catamaran, several times a week. This Inn sits on Calusa Indian grounds, which is a mound of shells representing hundreds of years of nourishment from the sea. The Calusa Indians lived here centuries before the Spanish and Ponce de Leon made the Isle of Saint Mark a port of embarkation for their return to the Old World.
