Wide, clean, quiet and we'll groomed. Great for families. There are only three access points from the street for the public, you should at least visit this beach at least once in your lifetime. More

South Marco Beach is beautiful! Very wide, white and clean. Many shells for those hunting. Found more shells than I did on Sanibel. Access is limited to Marco beaches. Wish they would open up "resident" access a little more to those vacationing during "off" season. Walk to beach was very nice but was long for seniors with walking difficulties. Loved,... More
