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.

Off the southwest coast of Florida is Marco Island, right in the Gulf of Mexico. It is definitely a beach destination, but there is something more there. People with an interest in history will love that fact that there have been archaeological digs that produced artifacts from around 500 A. D. Scholars love the area, but there is much more to do, too.

Beyond the rich history of the land, there is the weather that everyone enjoys, especially in winter. During the coldest months of the year, Florida remains largely temperate, with clear skies and sunny days. Snow birds, or people who live in the area in winter to escape blustery winter weather, flock to the area every year. The locals who live there year round usually get the island back in summer, during the rainy season.

The rainy season is from June to October, which also coincides with hurricane season. This is when tourist traffic comes to a standstill, so it is also the cheapest time of year for lodgings and other things, which is something to consider. There are still some clear days during this season, and the rest of the year is mostly dry.

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.

Getting on a boat will seem like second nature by the time your vacation ends, as there are many activities to choose form involving boats. Sightseeing tours is one of them, letting you travel all the nearby islands in style. Or take a dolphin tour to see these graceful, intelligent creatures up close in their natural habitat.

You could also take a boat to Cape Romano, which has some great photo opportunities. This is especially true of the domed homes that are quite famous and fun to visit. While you are there, hit a nearby beach and go shelling. This is a great place to collect shells for crafts or to take home as a souvenir.

A boating activity that is both fun and useful is fishing. There are many charters available from local companies. Locals will go to catch fish for eating, often filling their freezers with food. Visitors can mail the fish home, or just catch for sport if they prefer. All equipment including poles are provided.

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.
