Artists, authors and musicians have made their home on nearby Matlacha on Pine Island, and their artwork can be found in colorful galleries, shops, restaurants … and yes, even on painted utility poles!
Matlacha is now referred to as the “Key West of the North,” as this Old Florida fishing village has turned into a funky arts community. It’s truly an unexpected spot in the road, and well worth adding onto your itinerary for your next visit to Ocean’s Reach!
