Good to know

Marco Island's 10,000 Islands

Dolphin, Birding & Shelling
Marco Island Boat Tours' Dolphin, Birding & Shelling Tour leaves from Goodland Boating Park at 750 Palm Point Drive, east of Marco Island. The two-hour trip threads through the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge, mangrove channels and tidal flats, then stops at a barrier-island beach for shelling. A Florida Master Naturalist guide points out dolphins and shorebirds. The tour runs year-round with daily departures.
Public Beach Entrances
City Mid-Beach Public Access at 300 South Collier Boulevard, Maple Avenue access and City South Beach Public Access are free pedestrian entrances to the Gulf shoreline. Mid-Beach has bike racks but no parking or facilities; Maple Avenue also has no dedicated public lot. At City South, use parking marked for public visitors and do not assume a nearby resort lot is open to you.
Route R21
Collier Area Transit's Route R21 Marco Island Circulator links Marriott, Walmart and Shops of Marco, with stops on Collier Boulevard and Winterberry Drive. Buy single rides or day passes in the rideCAT app and scan the pass at the onboard validator. CAT also accepts cash and Smart Cards, but drivers cannot give change. R21 schedules vary by day, so use the app's real-time stop lookup before setting out.
Glass, Dogs and Grills
Marco Island's beach ordinance bans glass containers and open fires, including portable grills, in beach and access areas. Dogs are not allowed on the sand, except service dogs accompanying people with disabilities. Leave glass bottles and grills off the beach, and keep pets off the sand; these rules apply even when the beach is quiet.
