Tigertail Beach
Tigertail Beach–a tale of two beaches. One end’s amenity-rich options include kayak and stand-paddleboard rentals, a snack bar, playground, umbrellas, and a patio to gather. At the other end, find a nature-lover’s Eden where shell collecting, birdwatching, and nature exploring are on the agenda. Tigertail Beach’s pristine shoreline and powdery white sand offers an ocean escape where you don’t have to choose between adventure and relaxation.
South Marco Beach
Sable palms line South Marco Beach, offering a lush, tropical escape for locals and visitors. This Gulf getaway sits at the southern tip of Marco Island and offers a carpet of fine, sugar-white sand. Coupled with the gentle rhythm of the Gulf of Mexico’s waves, this spot defines tranquil escape. Of course the views are breathtaking all day, but don’t miss dusk’s blazing sunsets. Seventy parking spots offer an added convenience.
Florida Everglades
Think Florida and you’re likely to agree the Everglades are a must-see. From Marco Island, drive to the Gulf Coast Visitor Center and then explore the park’s Gulf Coast area, whether by boat tour, ranger-led programs, or self-guided hiking trails. Big Cypress National Preserve’s Loop Road makes an ideal walk and hike for birdwatching and nature immersion. Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge, accessible from Marco Island, offers kayaking and boating expeditions that wind through a maze of mangrove islands where manatees, dolphins, and bird species make your Everglades escape one for the vacation books.
Naples Beach
More than 10 miles of Gulf coastline entices beachcombers to find their favorite spot in the sand. Swimmers love to jump the waves, splash around, or get in some fitness in these calmer waters. Naples Pier is still a popular spot, despite suffering some recent damage. This spot is close to Downtown Naples and serves up points of access for kayakers and paddleboarders.
Vanderbilt Beach
Vanderbilt Beach’s popularity during peak season makes it a key spot for sun lovers and swimmers alike, so try to arrive before 10 am to snag a parking spot. Once you feel the soft, white sand under your feet and gaze at the turquoise waters, you’ll see why this North Naples spot earns its reputation as one of the town’s most stunning beaches.
Resident’s Beach
If you find yourself on Marco Island for more than a month (and how lucky are you!), apply for a permit to sit on the shores and play in the waves of Resident’s Beach. As the name implies, this stretch is for residents only, but welcomes long-term Marco Island guests. Parking, showers, restaurants, and Paradise Coast views for miles make this quieter beach haven a true retreat.
Downtown Naples
This charming area started out as a fishing village and hosts Palm Cottage, the oldest house in Naples. While history buffs can soak in Naples’ bygone eras, shoppers and culinary enthusiasts will relish in the upscale shops and boutiques lining the streets. Leave the car behind–this walkable stretch gives you the chance to meander for ultimate exploration.
Everglades City
36 miles south of Naples lies Everglades City, a small community that serves as a family-friendly spot for fishing, airboat tours, swamp buggy tours, and all sorts of outdoor adventures. Don’t leave without trying some Stone Crab, as Everglades City is known as the “Stone Crab Capital of the World”!
Water Sports
Of course delighting in Tigertail and South Marco Beaches’s waves means whole-group fun, but Marco Island’s waters also call for serious play. Hop island-to-island via kayak or amp up your day on the water with a Wave Runner eco tour–adventure with a side of learning or take to the Paradise Coast with a Jet Ski rental. Tigertail Beach’s mangrove tunnels offer an open invitation for kayakers to take to the waters. Elevate your beach day as you parasail high above the blue water–keep your eyes peeled for dolphin sightings!
Shopping
Tin-roofed shops and brick courtyards make The Shops of Olde Marco not just any ordinary retail therapy session. Meander through art galleries and scope a perfect piece to bring home and remind you of your Marco Island getaway. Eateries and boutiques round out your experience. Marco Walk Plaza will conjure images of European shopping and dining with its stunning fountains and courtyard featuring boutiques and dining options–maybe even take in a movie at the plaza’s theater. The Esplanade Shoppes’ waterfront, Italian-style village elevates your entire retail escape.
Spas and Wellness
Grab a mat and bliss out with a class at Marco Island Yoga. Down dog on the sand as the waves and expert instructors guide your practice. Soothe those sore muscles with a spa treatment at one of Marco Island’s retreats. Choose from a menu of body work indulgences at one of the island’s larger spas or plan a visit to one of the smaller, local wellness retreats.
Arts and Culture
Any lover of the arts must plan for time spent at the Marco Island Center for the Arts. Exhibitions, educational programs, and live performances showcase local and international artists talent. The Center’s Arts Center Theatre and The Island Theater feature runs of plays and live entertainment. Tap into the darker side of this sunny haven when you discover the island’s hidden side with the Marco History and Mystery Tours. Bring on full-body chills with stops at cemeteries and haunted inns, and burial sites.
Land Adventures
The waters of the Paradise Coast are the big draw, but don’t let that stop you from setting off on land. Rent a bike to explore the island’s hidden gems. Also, did you know you’re staying near the United States’ only subtropical wilderness. Take a Swamp Walk through the Everglades–well worth the 45-minute drive from Marco Island. Free, guided swamp walks depart from the Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park and Big Cypress National Preserve in winter when water levels dip. Nature guide services operate tours year-round for this chance to muck around next to Florida orchids, bromeliads, and butterflies.
Boating and Cruising
Get close (but not too close!) to alligators when you are safely aboard an Airboats and Alligators tour on Lake Trafford. Research meets tourism with a Dolphin Explorer tour. This tour is a participant in the 10,000 Islands Dolphin Project, a scientific program that couples wildlife exploration and research. The redfish, snapper, snook, and sea trout are biting, so book a Marco Island fishing charter to cast a line. Meander through the deserted beaches of Ten Thousand Island when you book a shell collecting excursion–bring your buckets! Cap off your day with a sunset sailboat cruise as the sun sets on your Marco Island adventure.
Golfing
The Paradise Coast’s 90 (yes, 90) golf course means a course for every handicap. Courses on or near Marco Island invite you to tee off in paradise. Take advantage of Southwest Florida’ natural splendor at The Rookery at Marco. This course offers enthusiasts strategic bunkering, undulating greens, water features, and courses ideal for beginners and challenging expanses for seasoned golfers.
