Take SW Pine Island Rd all the way down towards the island and just before you get to Matlacha you will find the “Honey Hole”. An amazing hole it is. You will find Grey, a young Shrimper who has been working overtime to rebuild life after Hurricane Ian of 2022 destroyed his family’s home. The Shrimp business is a 3-generation family enterprise for Gray, who fishes the shrimp and sells it on the side of the road. Affordable, fresh, healthy, and delicious natural caught shrimp from our Gulf Coast. I’m addicted. Then you have Dom who raises, rescues, and restores local bee populations. Dark and light honey – it is the localist honey you can get in the Cape Coral area, and is harvested only blocks away, adding to its medicinal value for locals and travelers who need a boost. Sometimes he has on display live bee hives including some rescued bees he cultivates as well. Also featured is sourdough bread made by the “Dough Lady” from Pine Island. Really fresh food – and a must stop. The fresh shrimp is frozen as soon as it is harvested, and honey lasts long so you can stock up when you visit.
