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 beaches are the center of mot of the tourist activities, and there are many to choose from. You can also take a boat to other islands nearby with plenty of beaches as well. In addition, you can enjoy activities on the water such as paddle boarding, sunbathing, sand castle building, jet skis and speed boats among many others.

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.

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.

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.
