SUN FUN PARADISE
Recreation on the Island
WALK ON THE BEACH- Tropical climate, beach and
water are the major attractions in Marco.
Break yourself in gently with
a stroll along the beach.
Breathe in the clean salt air and
watch fishermen, birds and boats go about their business.
Maybe you'll be lucky enough
to catch a glimpse of some dolphin or a manatee swimming by.
Just north of South Seas Club on
the beach is Tigertail Beach. You can rent beach cabanas, water trikes
and sailboards.
One mile walk down the beach from
South Seas Club is the Marriott Hotel.
Here you can rent sailboats,
water trikes, jet skis and arrange to go parasailing.
PARASAILING - YOU CAN SEE FOR MILES UP THERE. It is fun for all ages so call Marco Island Ski and Watersports.

PRISTINE WATERS AROUND MARCO.
TROLLEY TOUR OF THE TOWN - For relaxation and education,
hop on the Marco Island
Trolley Tours.
Get your bearings on this 1 hour 45 minute tour of Marco and Goodland.

along the way and reboard later.
Visit the ancient Calusa Indian
mounds of shell and
find out what attracted
the tribe of Paleo-Indians to the area.
Browse the shops
for unique jewelry and artifacts influenced by
these first settlers.
SUNSET AT A BEACHSIDE BAR - The sunsets don't come much
better anywhere than they do on Marco Island
and they can seem even more
spectacular with a cool glass of something in your hand.
We recommend the terrace at

join the sunset party at Quinn's
