Charge to enter

I have cycled in this area for the past 22 years and now they charge to enter. There is the historic ruin of Captains Horr's house which is now no longer accessible due to more damage after Hurricane Irma.

Nice change to get into a quieter area of Marco Island. The ruins are not much to see, some real nice estates out there. Gate guard makes a copy of your license and plate numbers. They're very polite, but don't need any problems caused by...More

a nice drive

A pleasant drive to see how the "other half" (more like 1%!) lives. Being so sheltered there is a good chance you'll see raccoons during the day as well as gopher tortoises.

interesting neighborhood

Homes in here are amazing, we were looking for the gopher turtles which were supposed to be abundant but never saw one there. They can be seen at other places on the island as well as burrowing owls.
