Marco Island, Barrier island city in Southwest Florida, United States
The largest developed land mass within Florida's Ten Thousand Islands spans across coastal areas with white sand beaches and residential neighborhoods.
Native Calusa people inhabited this region until the 1500s when Spanish explorers designated the territory as La Isla de San Marcos.
The Pepper-Hearst Expedition of 1896 unveiled numerous Calusa artifacts, contributing to the understanding of indigenous settlements in Southwest Florida.
Two bridges, Collier Boulevard and San Marco Road, provide mainland access while public beaches include Tigertail Beach and South Beach.
The population of 15,760 residents doubles during winter months as seasonal visitors arrive at this Gulf Coast destination.
