Tigertail Beach

The beach features a tidal lagoon system connecting an inner beach area to three miles of white sand shoreline on the outer beach.

Hurricane Wilma transformed this location in 2005 by connecting an offshore sandbar to Marco Island's mainland, creating the current beach formation.

The beach functions as part of the Great Florida Birding Trail, where visitors observe numerous shore birds including eagles, osprey, terns, and plovers.

The park provides facilities including restrooms, showers, picnic areas, and a playground, with operating hours from 8:00 AM until sunset daily.

Visitors must wade through a saltwater lagoon at the appropriate tide level to reach the outer beach section, known as Sand Dollar Beach.
