Active residents and visitors to our Marco Island condo can find plenty to keep them busy from morning until sunset on this quiet but busy southwestern Florida island.

Active Pursuits

You can be as lazy or as active as you’d like while on Marco Island. What you choose to do will depend largely on your personal preferences and whether you prefer to be on land or on the water.

Golf

If you enjoy golf, there two public golf courses close to Marco Island that are open to the general public. The Marco Shores Country Club is located just a short drive away in Naples and is an 18-hole, par 72 course designed by Bruce Devlin. Marriott’s Marco Island Resort and Spa is located right on the island and boasts one of the most acclaimed courses in Southwestern Florida. The terrain is challenging but beautiful, and golfers can hone their skills at the resort’s 13-acre practice facility before they hit the links.

Fishing Charters

If you find yourself in Marco Island without a sea-faring vessel but you want to do some fishing, you won’t have to look far to find a charter. Several companies offer chartered fishing experiences on the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Expect to catch tarpon, snook, snapper, trout, grouper, and king mackerel, depending on the season.

Sightseeing Boat Tours

If you prefer just to sit back and relax while exploring the waters around Marco Island, hop on a sightseeing cruise. Many are available aboard a variety of vessels, including catamarans, and some offer lunch or dinner aboard. Check out the airboat rides for a thrilling experience in the nearby Everglades. You can even make a high-speed catamaran trip to Key West.

Boating

With the help of local outfitters, you can learn to sail on the tranquil waters around Marco Island or go canoeing and kayaking with friends, on your own or with a guide.

Scuba Diving

While diving tends to be more popular on the Atlantic Coast, there are indeed opportunities here as well. The Gulf of Mexico is rich with marine life and divers can also explore artificial reef systems and barge wrecks.

Beach Activities

Aside from swimming and sunning, most of the larger hotels offer other beach-related activities. For example, at the aforementioned Marriott Resort as well as at the Hilton Marco Island, you can go parasailing, rent wave runners, or try your hand at water skiing.  These hotels are within walking distance from the condominium

Want to do a little exploring? Marco Island boasts plenty of sights for visitors to enjoy, both natural and man-made.

Ranger-led hikes are appropriate for all ages and guests can even rent canoes and follow the self-guided canoe trail. There’s a small charge but it’s well worth the cost.

Marco Island Center for the Arts

This facility, which has been around for about 40 years, offers galleries of art work by local and regional artists and presents a number of art shows and educational programs throughout the year.

Marco Island Historical Museum

Goodland, Florida

This  small enclave of just 200 residents is located on Marco Island and was founded in the late 1800′s.  Relatively isolated until the 1930′s, this fishing village still retains its small town charm and laid back atmosphere.  Its most famous fixture is Stan’s Idle Hour, Marco Island’s oldest family owned restaurant.  A visit to Stan’s on a Sunday is a must for any Marco Island visitor.

Things to Do in the Marco Island Vicinity

Venture off Marco Island to the towns surrounding it and you’ll find another world of adventure and attractions. Cities like nearby Naples to the north and Everglades City to the southeast offer a plethora of things to do and see and visitors will want to spend at least a day in each locale, probably more. Both destinations are just a stone’s throw away from Marco, so visiting is easy.

Certainly, the attractive white sands of Marco Island beach are one of the major reasons for visiting or taking up residence on this beautiful Southwestern Florida paradise. While our Marco Island beach condominium has its own private and secluded beach for guests, there are other popular public beaches on the island as well.

Tigertail Beach

Providing the best and easiest public access on the island, Tigertail Beach measures about 31 acres and offers a variety of things to see and do. More than 200 parking spaces accommodate visitors (fee applies) and there are 5 boardwalks at Tigertail as well as a playground for little ones and several sand volleyball courts for active visitors. Concessions rent beach equipment and sell food and drink to visitors. Picnic areas with grills are also available as are public restrooms. There’s even an onsite butterfly garden and nature lovers say it’s a great place for birding, so bring your binoculars! Visitors can also wade across the lagoon to Sand Dollar Island, once the sandbar for Tigertail Beach but now somewhat of a barrier island in the making, according to the Collier County Parks and Recreation Department, which manages the beach. The most popular Marco Island beach, Tigertail is open from 8 a.m. until sundown.

South Beach

Not as popular as Tigertail, this Marco Island beach is accessible via a path beside the Apollo Condominium. This is the southernmost beach on the west coast of Florida accessible without a boat. Parking is across the street in a pay-and-park lot and visitors must then walk about half-a-block to the beach. (A resident permit is required to use the resident parking lot.) Though it is very pretty and quieter than Tigertail, there are no facilities or amenities here. Open from 8 am until sunset.

Main Resident’s Beach

As the name suggests, this Marco Island beach is for residents only and a resident permit is required for entry. Showers, restrooms, vending machines, and a kids play area are located on this beach as well as a number of chickee huts (thatched-roof structures) with tables and benches. Open between 8 a.m. and sundown.

A true gem of southwest Florida, located at the lower tip of the Gulf Coast, Marco Island is the largest of a group of islands known as the Ten Thousand Islands. Often lumped together with the nearby city of Naples and the western portion of Florida’s Everglades to form what is known as The Paradise Coast, Marco Island has no problem standing alone, attracting visitors who come in search of white-sand beaches, romantic accommodations, myriad water sports, fine dining, upscale shopping, and killer sunsets.

Those heading to Florida for its hopping nightlife, however, probably wouldn’t choose Marco Island. This swanky but quiet community isn’t big on nightclubs and other after-hours pursuits, but it more than makes up for its lack of evening fun with top-notch daytime activities like excellent boating and world-class golf courses, and offers close proximity to a number of wildlife preserves where nature lovers can explore lush foliage and view more than 200 species of birds, including the American Bald Eagle.  There plenty of things to do around Marco Island and Marco Island beaches are some of the prettiest on the western Florida coast.
