Guidebook for Marco Island
Food Scene
Fresh and best seafood in the area, live music, bar, on the water, some locals but tourists as well. The gulf coast is known for the fish called grouper. The grouper sandwich is a great choice at around $15 or treat yourself to some lobster. You can search their mouth-watering menu and their reviews. I tend to speculate bad reviews are from their local competition because I've been the numerous times and my guests always thank me for this recommendation.

Best pizza I've had in Florida and I lived in Miami most of my life, where there are more places to choose from. Go with the Sicilian pizza if you like a thicker crust or the New York hand tossed for the more traditional style pizza. They also have other pasta choices, but i haven't tried them because their pizza is awesome!

Lots of restaurants to choose from in this plaza. Just about 1.5 miles away from my house. Nacho Mama's has great Mexican food and drinks. There is a movie theater here as well. You can grab gelato from Dolce Mare or treat yourself to a fancy steak at Marco Prime. There is basically every cuisine to choose from in this plaza. You will have a great time bringing your picky partner to this plaza. I recommend to have dinner about an hour or two before sunset and take your partner across the street through the public access beach area across Winterberry drive and watch the sunset together with your bellies full, then come back for some more drinks after sunset if you desire.

Essentials
I suggest buying your fresh veggies and quality meats here but I would go somewhere else to buy other nonperishable goods at Wal-Mart or Dollar General because the same brand/exact product is usually a lot less expensive.

You can find most nonperishable items here at "Walmart prices" They also have items that smaller at a lesser price, which I find it great for people just visiting a couple of days.

This is the cleanest best kept Walmart of South Florida. It is not your typical bumper cart overcrowded Walmart. You can find pretty much everything here at the least expensive retail price available. From groceries, furniture, recreational items, toys, fishing gear, clothes, and anything else. One stop shop, when you need to buy EVERYTHING!

Shopping
Great place if the airline lost your luggage! This plaza has a Marshalls, Ross, Stein Mart. All three stores are known for their brand names and with bargain prices. Usually the bargain prices are not because of the quality but not the latest trend. But you will come out looking good! There is also a Petsmart here to keep your pet looking good as well.

Parks & Nature
I suggest taking an EPIC jet ski tour around these "10,000" islands. Crossing very shallow waters, where a jet ski can only travel. If you like wildlife with a bit of a thrill and adventure, this is a must do!

This is a quieter beach, a bit more spacious and people spread out. A bit more "wild" as the noun not the adjective. A beach in it's natural state. If your looking to get wild, see Marco Island South Beach, which is a bit more touristy and social than Tigertail.

This is a great spot if you like going to the beach to socialize and meet other people or families. I've seen dolphins numerous of times eating close to the rocks at the end of the beach. Great spot for beach fishing, just make sure you know Florida's regulations. Tigertail beach is better to go if your looking for peace and quiet because this beach is probably the most popular on the weekends and the winter months.
