What To Do On A Marco Island Vacation

By Scott Wagner


Florida is one of the premier places to take a vacation in the entire nation. It is full of all kinds of cities that are right on the coastline, and you can choose from three different bodies of water to visit. One of them is the Gulf of Mexico, where you can take a Marco Island vacation.

Marco Island is located in Collier County, and is located in the southwestern area of the state. It has a long and rich history, as many artifacts have been dug up in local archaeological sites. In fact, some of those artifacts date back as far as 500 A. D, making this a great destination for people who love history.

If you are not a historian, then there is still plenty of other things to love about this gorgeous area. At the top of the list of things that people love about Marco Island is the weather. This is especially true in winter, when much of the country is blanketed in snow, Florida is enjoying sunny, breezy days and mild temperatures. That is why snow birds, or northerners who only come for the winter, flock to the area.

You will love the weather, as long as you avoid the rainy season. The rainy season is usually between June and on through October, which is also the end of hurricane season. There is a lot of rainfall in these months, though there are still many clear days. The rest of the year rarely ever sees rainfall, making it a safe bet.

The water is the biggest draw here, especially the beaches. In fact, there are multiple beaches there, and many others on nearby islands that are easily accessible by boat. On these beaches, visitors can enjoy a bevy of activities, including sunbathing, surfing, jet skis, paddle boards and much more. Or just spend some time making a sand castle with your family.

There are many other boating activities in the area, including sightseeing ones. You can even book a sunset tour that is very romantic and picturesque. Some go out in areas known to be chalk full of dolphins to allow for some really great pictures and videos. The dolphin tours are a favorite of kids and adults alike.

Another boating excursion that is quite popular is one to nearby Cape Romano. They have these famous domed homes that are fun to photograph. This is also the best spot in the entire area for gathering shells, which is a great source of free souvenirs for you and people back home who you want to get a gift for.

Fishing is also an activity that you will see plenty of people doing. There are many boats available for charter to take you out into the deep sea and catch a variety of different fish. The crew knows the best spots and will clean the fish and even ship it home if you do not live nearby.

There is so much to do that you will want to start planning your trip immediately. You may need flights, a hotel and a rental car. Book them together in a package deal to make the process easier and less expensive.
