Review & FAQ:

Tigertail Beach, which is located on Marco Island, is a popular beach among local residents due to its “split personality.” Visitors can park on one of the island’s lagoon at the well-kept, clean park that offers rentals of beach gear, stand-up paddleboards, and kayaks, as well as a concession stand, a playground, picnic tables, and changing rooms.

The other side is a wild sand spit extending around three miles to the north and offers a beach with scads of shells, soft white sand, ospreys overhead, dolphins swimming off-shore, and many shorebirds. Many take the adventure of crossing the 50-yard lagoon.
