Fugate’s

This is a cool store with everything and everything. There is a location in Boca Grande and in Venice, FL. They have souvenirs, clothing for men and women and children, as well as accessories like watches and jewelries. They also have items for the kitchen as well as for the beach. There’s just an array of everything.
I guess you could describe it as the department store of the island. Since it is on the island, it does have island prices, it is pricey, at least in my opinion.
The stuff they have is definitely stuff I would love to buy, but will prefer to buy it elsewhere. Still it’s a cool store to browse through.

My family is always asking for a gift for me to bring back after my travels. I knew after all the stellar reviews, this was a great place to find something for them. As a mecca for local and high end purchases, I knew I could find the perfect Florida gift to bring home.
Searching around, it did not take long for me to find a couple of t-​shirts for two family members to enjoy while boating this summer as well as a couple of shot glasses (for family members who have a collection of their travels and mine). While some of the items can be quite hefty in price compared to other stores (some shirts are way overpriced), there is a lot of variety in here to find anything you really need (sunscreen, hats, towels, gift wrap). Again, regardless of whatever you are looking for, this place will have it. And, the ladies that run this store are the nicest you will meet in Boca Grande. Even if you are staying in town and forgot your lucky Sperry’s, you can purchase a new pair here! How about sunglasses? You need those in Florida and this would be the place to get them. So, if you are looking for a gift or just need an item forgotten at home, stop in here for a quick look-​a-​loo to find what you need.

Fugate’s is a Boca Grande landmark and it amazes me that while it stocks a little of this and a little of that, there always is something you want to buy. Don’t expect Macy’s but imagine that this is the only department store you could reach before the bridge made trips in bad weather possible.

No trip to Boca Grande is compete without a visit to Fugates and the Temptation, both iconic institutions one across the street from the other. Fugates is like a mini department store but for island life on Gasparilla Island.
Men’s and women’s clothing, bar ware, gifts or whatever you need to survive on the island.

Definitely best shop in Boca. Diverse, unique, large selection of items. Great staff!

Fugate’s is a gift shop/​clothing shop in the heart of Boca Grande. Low prices on shoes, especially sales on Sperry Topsiders. You will find some neat things in this shop. The prices are high (except for some good sale items) but you are in Boca Grande after all!

Great spot to browse. Fun island wear, souvenirs, toys, etc. great Sperry selection!
