Marco Island is surely the closest thing to a Caribbean
Island experience in
the United States.
Serenely tropical,
its beautiful white
sand beach stretches
for four miles along
the Gulf of Mexico
shoreline.
Relax on the
sun-kissed shores
and you're likely to
glimpse the sleek antics of dolphins
in the sparkling
Gulf. Colorful
seashells are
plentiful along the
water's edge,
offering
souvenirs free for
the taking. Boat to
one of the numerous
nearby outer islands
and you'll find an
astounding array of
keepsake shells
washed up daily by
the Gulf currents.
Sailing trips and
rental boats are
easily available to
reach these
shell-lined
stretches of
undisturbed island
sand.
Marco Island is the
northernmost and
largest of the Ten
Thousand Islands,
providing access to
the unspoiled
subtropical
wilderness of the
western waterways of
the Everglades.
Anglers and nature
lovers find endless
areas to explore and
enjoy the beautiful
and diverse natural
environment. Fish
for tarpon, snook
and redfish in the
mangrove
backcountry, or
kayak between
uninhabited islands
and spot dolphin,
manatee, sea turtles
and other wildlife.
Aside from its
natural wonders,
Marco Island offers
plenty of shopping,
dining and
recreational
options. In Olde
Marco, boutiques and
restaurants mix with
historic buildings.
Restaurants
specializing in
every conceivable
type of cuisine,
from international
dishes to Florida's
signature fresh
seafood, abound
throughout the
island. Golfers will
delight in the many
nearby courses,
which can
accommodate everyone
from beginners to
the seasoned pro.
Marco Island is one
of Florida's more
relaxing topical
vacation retreats
and these resorts
are unparalleled in
service and setting:
Marco Island
Marriott Resort &
Spa,
