What travelers are saying
- Darcy DMaple Plain, MN72 contributionsReally a terrific day off from the Marco Island beaches. Amazing shelling, plenty of room to spread out, plenty of beaches to walk and enjoy. Take the Hemingway Shuttle for an optimum visit.Written May 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MJVT57Anoka, MN82 contributionsThis is an absolutely beautiful beach. White sand and sparkling water. Not at all crowded on the day we visited. The only downside is that you have to walk half a mile from the parking lot and rest rooms to the water. It is a hot walk on a sunny day. We stayed for 3.5 hours.Written March 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KBell17 contributionsThe location is incorrect on the posting, it is back in the "original location". 100% the best farmers market! Wish I had gotten out produce here and not at the grocery store. Also the smoothie bowl was incredible!!!Written March 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CarolAnne D2 contributionsGreat weather, other sea shell collectors out and about. Very peaceful at that time of the day! Always enjoy simply listening to the the waves.Written May 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- squidman212travelSan Mateo, CA36 contributionsWe were biking through the island and took a nice break here at the museum. We really enjoy reading about the history of the areas we visit. The museum offers a rich look at the history of the island including the aboriginals who used to live there and their lifestyle. It also went through the development of the island to become a tourist destination and then the environmental considerations of the affect on the ecology of the area without becoming overly political. We're glad we went to understand the history of the island.Written May 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wanda B9 contributionsSomething for everyone. First time to the dog park. Very nice. Large dogs & small have their own park.

- EmmaBFarninghamWest Kingsdown, UK97 contributionsWe had a lovely morning on a pontoon boat from Isles of Capri Marina. The Marina was 3 minutes away from where we were renting so very convenient. We were given a thorough but concise briefing on how to drive the boat, where to go, how to get out of the marina and where we could dock to enjoy the beach during our hire. Our main focus was to see dolphins and we absolutely did. Our first encounter were with a mum and her approx. 2 year old calf. They were just hanging around a particular spot and so we stayed there with them for about half an hour. It was amazing. We saw several more as we explored a bit further and then turned around to head towards the beach we'd been recommended to visit. We anchored the boat there, collected lots of beautiful seashells and saw several more dolphins playing around a little way off from the beach. The boat was easy to drive, the maps clear and helpful and we were guided into the dock by the staff on our return. It was a wonderful morning. We finished it off with a lunch at Island Gypsy which was very nice and very popular. Great cocktails!Written April 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- wifeof25yearsEphrata, PA248 contributionsSooooooooooooo loved our day! Wanted to do this last year and my husband didn't but this year he said "yes!" We loved it! Jim was amazing, knowledgable and friendly! A "new" younger guy was great as well, I'm sorry I didn't get his name!
Totally agree that the Conch train was a great way to see the "sights" and get a feel for what you want to go back and really explore.Written March 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There's easy access to the water via a boat ramp, and a fair amount of parking, though the parking lot does fill up fast during certain times of the year. Putting in the water from here gives you easy access to the sandbar in Caxambas pass, Dickman's Island, and various other places south of Marco. It would be a long paddle to get to the domes off Cape Romano, but an easy trek via a powered boat.Written January 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jim RNew Milford, CT54 contributionsWhile on Marco Island recently we heard about an exhibit at the Marco Island Center for the Arts of Mike Neall's metal art. We bought a piece while we were there and picked it up on the way out of town. The staff was great. The quality of this art center was very high, especially for a small town like Marco Island, but of course I'd expect no less. It's a pleasant diversion - go see it.Written September 26, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Annette C3 contributionsVery clean and friendly little place to meet up with the shelling tour and grab ice and snacks for your next adventure in the 10.000 IsLandsWritten December 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mr. EasyMount Dora, FL70 contributionsBy coming here you will have many choices to the water and how you would like to experience the island. Rent many kinds of boats or hop on a tour for fishing or touring. They have a huge liner with short and affordable tours with meals. Great for the less adventurous or vulnerable. Their gift shop is huge and complete with fishing gear and bait as well as fashions. You can book in person and ask directly. Not crowded but just right. There's a even a small bar with outdoor patio seating for grabbing a snack/meal or drink after your adventure.Written December 8, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Julie FColumbus, OH15 contributionsWhile the beaches on Marco Island do not welcome dogs, our Golden Doodle was perfectly happy with a daily stop at Canine Cove. Two large spaces, one for small and the other for large dogs, water, picnic tables, shade and friendly people too!Written March 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
