Hi. My wife and I will be visiting Marco Island in a couple of weeks. We've never been there before and any information would be great. Thansk!

Absolutely Beautiful! Went there when I was nine and the gulf is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. If you like sunsets, photo ops are abundant since the sun sets in the west. I am trying to think of what we did there but I will post later when I remember.

my in-laws are retired and spend 3 months a year in Marco. I have visited one week a year for the past 8-10 years. Marco is very slow-paced and quiet. Tiger Tale beach is beautiful. There is not much in the way of night life. Be sure to visit the Snook Inn. It is a great place to dine on the water and it has a tiki bar which is about the only night life on the island. This time of year should not be as crowded as when I typically go in February but reservations for dinner are generally needed anywhere on the island. There is an executive airport about 5 minutes off the island with daily flights to Key West. The cost is about $125 bucks and it gets you there in only 30 minutes. There are also daily ferries to Key West but the trip is nearly 4 hours by water. If you are looking for a day trip go to Naples. It is about a 30 minute drive to the north and there is some nice shopping and several restaurants right on the water.

Don't know about Marco Is but...... if you would like a bout ride?

Check out the shuttle on the Whale Watcher out of Marco to Key West. Might be a nice day or over night excurtion.
