25 Best Things to Do in Marco Island, Florida    

Marco Island is the largest island in the beautiful chain of south Florida islands called the Ten Thousand Islands. Even though it is relatively close to Naples and connected to the mainland by two different bridges, the island maintains its remote, isolated feel. The island features a variety of delightful out-door activities. Beach-going opportunities abound and include two public beaches as well as several offshore island beaches.

South Marco Island Beach is one of only two public beaches on Marco Island. It is the quieter of the two beaches and therefore is perfect for families who want to relax, go shelling, or watch dolphins playing in the sea. The beach has few amenities, including parking for a fee as well as restrooms and a paved walkway to the beach.

Several businesses offer tours and adventure experiences on the beach or nearby, such as Off the Hook Adventures Sailing-Shelling-Sightseeing and Florida Adventures and Rentals. The 1-acre, palm-lined beachfront is located nearby several luxury hotels.

Cape Romano is a cape at the southern tip of Marco Island. The main attraction is a collection of bi-zarre, outer-space looking buildings at the edge of the sea. The buildings were built as a vacation home in 1980 by a retired oil producer. The home has been hit by several storms over the years, including Hurricane Wilma, which washed away some of the coastline.

They are now abandoned and only acces-sible by boat. Some locals and visitors fish from the curiously formed domes. It is likely that the home will eventually recede into the rising sea, however they are an interesting sight to behold while they last. 25 Best Things to Do in Marco Island, Florida - Photo: lsclayton/Fotolia
