What To Do On A Marco Island Vacation

By Scott Wagner


When it comes to spots to visit in the United States, Florida is often towards the top of the list. This is for good reason, as the Sunshine State is home to many beachfront cities, including Marco Island. In fact, a Marco Island Vacation is one of the best things to do when in Florida.

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.

In the summer, when the area is the hottest, is also when the rain comes. From June to October, during hurricane season, the area experiences a lot of downpours. There are still many clear days, but it does rain quite a bit. This is why most tourists wait until after the season passes in order to go and visit, when things dry up.

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.

Boating is also a popular pastime in the area. You can go for picturesque by taking a sunset tour, which is also great for couples to have a romantic time. If you love dolphins, there are boat tours where you can get up close for photos or videos. Sightseeing tours let you take in the islands at a fun yet leisurely pace for more pictures.

Cape Romano is one of the best and most fun reasons to get on yet another boat while in the area. There are some very famous domed structures that are practically begging to be photographed. The beaches are littered with shells, which are great for memories or taking home as gifts for friends and family.

Another boating activity is fishing. Lots of people on the island do it to fill their fridges and freezers with food. But you can do it for sport or fun, and you do not have to have experience. Just charter a boat and they will have the equipment and everything ready for you to use.

A package deal is the best way to book your vacation. These include airfare, hotel, rental car or some combination of those. They may even include attraction tickets or discounts if you so desire.
