Marco Island

Marco Island 12/04/2025

Our first stop is a haven of white sands and sparkling waters that reflect the peaceful nature of its environment. This corner of Florida’s Paradise Coast holds a deep historical significance, originally populated by the Calusa Indians, they established it as a major trading hub, evidenced by the remarkable shell mounds and artifacts that illustrate their advanced fishing and shelling culture. Named by Spanish explorers in the 16th century after San Marco, the island is enveloped by expansive mangrove estuaries, the largest system of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, home to playful dolphins and manatees. Today, Marco Island is a cherished destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat, where the sunset casts the sky in brilliant golds and the ocean mirrors the moon’s glow.
