A barrier island along the Gulf of Mexico, Marco Island has four miles of beautiful beaches full of that famous white sugar sand, which is soft and comfortable for bare feet even in hot weather. This relaxed island is located close to Naples and has lots of activities and attractions aimed for the enjoyment of the whole family. Water sports, parks, and of course, beaches abound, and the tiny islands just off the coast of Marco island provide some really cool opportunity for exploration. Guests can take a dolphin cruise to spot pods of these extraordinary creatures jumping and playing in the water, or explore the barrier islands and mangrove forests of the region from a jet ski. On land, vacationers can tour the area on a rental bike or Segway.
