Marco Island is the largest of the Ten Thousand Islands located at the southern tip of Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast in Collier County.  This beachfront paradise is located just north of the western entrance to Everglades National Park, and is surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico on one side and pristine wilderness on the other.  The mangrove-lined estuaries are ideal for fishing, boating, bird and wildlife watching, kayaking and canoeing.

Marco Island's beach and surrounding sand bars offer excellent shelling including sand dollars, whelks, olive shells, scallops and hundreds of other treasures.

Bird watchers can easily spot wood storks, brown and white pelicans, herons, egrets, and eagles.

Allow 45 minutes to reach Southwest Florida International Airport, 20 minutes to downtown Naples, 1 and 1/2 hours to drive to Miami or 2 and 1/2 hours (by boat) to Key West.
