Marco Island A Traveler's Guide

By Colin Hayes

Marco Island doesn't ask much of you. Six miles of white sand, warm Gulf water, and a pace of life that runs slower than everywhere else.

Written by a twenty-year resident, this guide goes past the resort brochure: where locals actually eat, which Everglades back road guarantees an alligator sighting, and why a ten-minute detour to a fishing community called Goodland is worth the trip.

inside you'll find:

Beach-by-beach breakdowns, from family-friendly lagoons to quiet shelling spotsReal restaurant prices and ambiance, compared side by sideA full day-trip plan for the Everglades, including exactly where to see alligatorsNaples shopping and dining, covered district by districtSample itineraries for 3, 7, and 10 daysA local's field guide to the wildlife you'll actually encounter

Whether this is your first visit or your fifteenth, this book helps you spend your time well.

Colin Hayes has lived on Marco Island for twenty years. This guide is his tribute to the place he calls home.
