It was a staging area for the ill fated Cuban Bay of Pigs invasion among other things. It is now a very posh residents club and resort. Directly west of Useppa, several hundred yards across the Gulf Coast ICW is Cabbage Key. Cabbage Key has some guest cottages and a small restaurant/pub which is a very popular boating destination hereabouts. |

But, I'm getting older'n hell. I think the Union sympathizers who staged from Useppa were much more successful than the Bay of Pigs guys. |

I have been in that zoo a couple if times on my Pine Island friend's boat. Now I understand. When you mentioned Estero Bay, I thought that's where you were located. This old age is a bitch! |
