What Marco Island beaches are known for

Marco Island's signature is calm water (nearly all of its beaches) and sunsets over the water (most), which few beaches in Florida can match. The sea is warm for most of the year, and the surf is usually small. Nearly all of them have parking nearby, most have bathrooms, and about half have restaurants and bars within a short walk. None of them have a pier, which is unusual in Florida.

From the 8 ranked beaches in Marco Island against the 185 in Florida: calm water 7 of 8 (25 percent in Florida); sunset over water 5 of 8 (31 percent in Florida); sea 79 F on average with 8 months at 75 F or more, mean daily maximum wave 1.5 ft; parking 7; bathrooms 5; restaurants and bars 4; pier 0 (36 percent in Florida). Each fact carries its source on the beach page.
