MARCO ISLAND FLORIDA
Marco Island is Almost Paradise
By Caitlin Moore
You may have thought that all of Florida is pretty heavenly, but it in fact
has a special region known as the Paradise Coast that ranks among
the best places to spend a few relaxing days. Collier County is the
actual name and it contains the towns of Naples and Marco Island, but
you can call it whatever you like. Here are a few ideas; bliss,
dreamland, cloud nine…
Let’s just focus on Marco Island for this vacation, considering that it is
well-equipped to handle all the needs and expectations you have for a
sunny beach getaway. Much of the land in these parts is protected as
a park and nature preserve, meaning that you’ll glimpse the
Everglades in all their untouched glory. The splendid marshland and
abundant wildlife are just a couple of reasons that this coastal refuge
is equated with the idea of paradise.
The rest of the reasons are pretty solid as well. Marco Island’s
crescent shaped beach encompasses a few miles of white sand and
recreation-friendly water. Tigertail Beach Park is an excellent place to
sit down for a picnic, a sunbathing session or just a few hours of
family fun building sand castles and frolicking in the surf. The sunsets
tend to be spectacular, the sea shelling is sublime and the man-
made aspects of the area are set up to ensure that every visitor is
treated kindly and well.
Culture junkies won’t starve here thanks to the Marco Island Historical
Society as well as several art galleries. Florida tends to attract and
inspire all sorts of artists with its natural beauty and laid-back
atmosphere, and Marco Island is no exception. Take a look around if
you’re in the market for the perfect piece to hang above your mantel,
and if you’re lucky you’ll come across exactly what you’re looking for.
Or, if you’d rather just window shop or fill your head with a few tasty
tidbits of information about the area’s Native American influences (the
Calusas were the first ones here, by the way) then you’ll be all set.
Venture out on the water by renting a boat or hopping aboard a
chartered cruise. Watch for dolphins, sea turtles, manatees and all
sorts of exotic deep-sea fish that you probably aren’t used to seeing
except for on your plate at a fancy restaurant. From sailboats to
canoes, kayaks to wave runners, there are many methods of gathering
speed as you skim across the surface of the Gulf. Nothing makes you
forget about deadlines and email like feeling the salty spray awaken
your fun-loving side, so save ample time for this exhilarating pastime.
Continue your tour of tantalizing delights as you get to know the rest of
Marco Island. Golf courses, nature tours, spas and boutiques will
compete for your attention and allow the members of your group, who
probably have varying interests, to do their own thing for a few hours.
Meet back up for dinner to exchange stories, telling each other of the
day’s adventures over a fabulous meal of seafood and other exotic
dishes. Moods will be light and the laughter will come easy thanks to
everyone having spent a fabulous day doing what they love.
End it all on a high note by returning to your fantastic
accommodations; in this case, a beach house should definitely do the
trick. Marco Island Vacation Rentals are plentiful and come in all
shape and variety; they also tend to add a special touch to what is
already sure to be a wonderful getaway. Pick one that matches your
needs in terms of size and location, then sit back, relax and enjoy the
view of paradise.
