Holidays in Marco Island

Marco Island is the largest of Florida's Ten Thousand Islands, a spectacular landscape of low-lying grassy islands with the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico creeping around their pristine white beaches. Marco Island holidays are the ideal way to blend the idyllic tropical landscapes with a casual, fun-loving atmosphere.

Planning Marco Island Holidays

Marco Island is in the Eastern timezone (UTC-5, -4 in summer) and enjoys a hot tropical climate, meaning Marco Island holidays are a warm, tranquil beach getaway at any time of the year. During the wetter months between June and October there is probably less sun-bathing to be had, it's the best time to explore the other riches available on Marco Island holidays. As an affluent and stable area of the US, a lot of Marco Island holidays accommodation is at the top-end; however, many of the prices for hotels and resorts are all-inclusive with food and transport from nearby airports or cities, which makes it a stress-free way to get acquainted with Marco Island. Arriving by boat from Key West is an unforgettable experience.

Marco Island Holidays

Visitors can enjoy their ultimate beach-holiday in the presence of the rolling waves, scorching sun and pristine sand of South Marco Beach. However, Marco Island holidays also offer a lot away from the beach, and if beach-going works up an appetite then simply stroll towards some of the famously authentic mouthwatering Mexican food found around the Everglades Area.

Variety is always a good thing, and heading inland from the beach towards Mid-Island allows you to relax, talk to locals, and bask in the visual beauty of Marco Island holidays from Pelican Plaza. If the view makes travellers eager to discover more about the stunning landscape and environment, then take a trip to nearby Rookery Bay Reserve to examine over 100 different bird species.
