Marco Island Florida - Guide To Vacations & Attractions In Marco ...

Luxury meets nature on Marco Island, just south of Naples on Florida’s Southwest Coast. As the largest and only developed island of Florida’s famed Ten Thousand Islands, Marco Island offers a unique immersion into this unspoiled natural area with access to the Gulf of America and island estuaries.

Part coastal resort, part fishing village, Marco Island is a family-friendly destination where visitors can relax and unwind in nature. Comb the beach for shells or join an oceanside yoga session, kayak the coastal waters, take an eco-tour by boat, fish, and watch spectacular sunsets.

Dine on fresh seafood, visit local art galleries and museums, and shop the unique stores of the island.

Accommodations range from luxury resorts to vacation rentals and motels. Or pack up your camping gear and head east to nearby Collier Seminole State Park, which offers a host of outdoor activities as well as access to the Blackwater River.

Plan your visit at Paradise Coast.
