Marco Island
Home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches, Marco Island offers access to both the Gulf of Mexico and the mangrove-lined estuaries of the Ten Thousand Islands. Marco Island's mood shifts from sophisticated resort area to historic and funky fishing village. Boating is a way of life here; many homes and rentals are on the water. Bring your appetite for seafood, which you can catch yourself or find at a local restaurant. For hidden gems, seek out the picturesque waterfront restaurants in the communities of Goodland and Isles of Capri.
