Marco Island

Few cities in Florida have a history as closely tied to the Calusa people as Marco Island. This Gulf of Mexico barrier island sits at the northern edge of the Ten Thousand Islands, a broad maze of mangrove islands and tidal waterways along southwest Florida’s coast. Key Marco, just north of the island, became internationally significant after 1896 excavations uncovered finely carved wooden objects from the region’s Indigenous past. Today, Marco Island combines long sandy beaches with boating, fishing and access to coastal wetlands, while its developed communities remain closely shaped by the surrounding water.
