Sunsets have been fun here, and I've been to a fireworks show for 4th of July years ago that was wonderful. I walked from Tigertail Beach entrance and needed to get off beach to meet family after a decent walk. The front guard was dismissive of my reading abilities of signs because it's "Resident's Beach." My apologies for having legs to walk there, guess I should avoid doing that in the future! I think the beach could use some better walk off points, and the plethora of condos and private residences, combined with the overall design of Marco doesn't give me hope for that to happen. Would be great to have more places to jump from beach to street though, especially with the sidewalks on the road nearby!

The other is near the Hilton, Marriott Crystal Shores and Turtle Parking Lot at 414-600 S. Collier at Winterberry Dr. The 7-Eleven at Winterberry is my favorite. The Residents Only Beach Access is at 130 S. Collier near San Marco Road. Tigertail Beach and South Beach have their parking lots and restroom areas. Marco Island Beach Access can be controversial and is inherently a visitor vs resident issue. The major hotels and condos on the beach have direct access. So plan ahead.

Mackle Park was named in honor of Frank E. Mackle Jr. (1916-1993). Mackle was a developer who had…read morepreviously developed Key Biscayne with his brothers. Frank arrived in what was then a primitive Marco Island in 1962 and saw potential in the undeveloped town. He was soon joined in the venture by his brothers, Elliott and Robert. All of the brothers were engineers and were employed by the Deltona Corporation founded by their father. Frank became the President of the Deltona Corporation and led the modernization of Marco Island. Mackle Park is impressive as it has everything that residents and visitors to Marco Island could want in outdoor recreation. The park has a community center with teen center, basketball court, bocce courts, open field area for play, picnic area, shuffleboard courts, a soccer/football field, volleyball court, and splash pad. One of the standout feature of the park is the creative playground that is a hit with kids. It has a pirate ship, castle turrets, and lots of places to climb and engage in imaginative play. My favorite part of the park is the beautifully landscaped walking path that winds around the lake. A sign at the entrance to the trail shows how you can increase the half mile walk around the lake to .9 miles by incorporating walking the perimeter of the fields in the back of the park. It is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a more vigorous jog. The lake is also a great place to bird watch and fish. Mackle Park has something for everyone. It offers a blend of recreational facilities and natural beauty that makes it a must-visit for anyone in the area. Whether you're looking to let the kids play, enjoy a peaceful walk, or partake in community events or a class, Mackle Park offers it all and more.

I'm not a boat owner anymore, but I can appreciate a nice launch site when I see it…read more When my folks lived on Marco Island, they'd walk down to Caxambas Park to enjoy a coffee and watch the action at the launch. You could watch the wildlife (pelicans, seagulls, and the occasional manatee). When we visited them, we'd join the Caxambas adventure, which we enjoyed. Many years later, we did a small vacation to see the "greatest hits" of my folks' past adventures. Sadly, the site was under construction and we couldn't really get the full experience. I can't hold that against them for the repairs - it needed to be done.

I've…read moreonly used this facility 2 times it's currently closed the last time I went but many places seem to have been closed temporarily due to hurricane Ian surge wave. So don't expect to buy gas or bait here. Safer yet, call ahead before making the extra trip out. Keep in mind the channels are generally the same but the sandbars come up real quickly even if you are going slow especially on a larger boat. I was lucky enough to back out as soon as the bow glanced sand at slow speed. By the time you touch a sandbar the transom alarm will alert shortly afterwards. I believe mine was set for a 3 foot alert. The trick here to enter caxambas pass is to aim for these building in the picture then slow wake to left side keeping red markers on the starboard side. And hug slight left all the way, unless you have a shallow riding boat. 27/2022

We called ahead and scheduled a time to pick up the wheel chair from their location a half hour drive from Naples (delivery is possible as well, but we rented an SUV which allowed for easy transport.) The chair itself had two removable buoyant arm rests and the whole thing folded in half. The arm rests combined with the three large air filled wheels made it possible to push the chair on loose sand and then straight into the water where our Dad could enjoy the waves. The chair had no problem transitioning from the water to the sand and back, and our Dad is 6'3". Thanks to the chair we were able to visit many of the beaches near Naples with ease. If you're in the area and are looking to provide the opportunity for someone with limited mobility to enjoy the beach AND the water then look no further than Beach Bum Rentals. Holly, the owner, was very responsive, accommodating, and kind. We hope to do business with her in the future.
