Marco Island, Florida Population, Hospitals, Airports, and Schools

by · Published · Updated

Marco Island is located at 240km south of Tampa. This relatively undiscovered resort island offers a good alternative to some of the state’s crowded beaches. Only 6km wide by 10km long, it’s one of the destinations that you don’t want to tell too many people about. In our experience, high-season rates on Marco Island are somewhat higher than rates in more heavily developed resort areas. Many birds frequent the so-called Ten Thousand Islands that lie near Marco — several bald-eagle nests have been identified in the area. If visitors get out on the water, there’s a good chance to see dolphins frolicking.
