Visiting Useppa Island and the Collier Inn is like going back in time to Old Florida. For thousands of years, Useppa was home to the Calusas, a native American tribe, whose civilization arose to become one of the most sophisticated native societies in North America. In the early 1900s, the island and what would become the “Collier Inn” was acquired by Barron Collier, a wealthy New York advertiser, entrepreneur and Florida land owner. He transformed the Inn into a classic turn-of-the-century getaway for many industry giants, politicians, and even Hollywood stars.
Today, the island’s natural beauty remains unchanged and has received special designation as a botanical landmark as well as historical designation for the Inn. Useppa is great for lunch and dinner as you stroll up from the marina docks to the Collier Inn, the flora will amaze you.
