What Is The Busiest Time Of The Year On Marco Island?

January 22, 2019 By Dawn

Are you planning to visit Marco Island, because you’re considering relocating? If that’s the case, and you’re hoping to come when it’s not as busy, come see us soon!

The population of Marco Island quadruples to 55,000 people during March and April because of Spring Break. We have the most gorgeous beaches, so March and April get very busy. Our economy is fairly reliant on these tourists. They support eco-tour operations, shops, restaurants and more. The busiest window of time starts at the beginning of March and runs through the middle of April. It’s six weeks of excitement, but by around April 23rd, spring vacations are over and another crowd also leaves Marco Island.

Marco Island normally has around 15,000 full time residents, but we also have friends from the North, we call “snowbirds.” These are people who live North and escape to Southern Florida to avoid the harsh northern winters, but head back north once Spring returns.

So, if you want to see Marco Island the way it is for most of the year, don’t visit during the Spring Break rush!

Marco Island Water Quality Efforts Set The Bar!

October 14, 2018 By Dawn

Marco Island residents invested $250 million dollars into its Septic Tank Replacement Program (STRP). The Septic Tank Replacement Program helps stop the flow of possible waste into canals. The program stopped residents from utilizing septic tanks to handle their waste discharges. There was an update of the Marco Island waste treatment facilities. Plus, we saw a comprehensive rework of the collector system. As it turns out, this was an impressive proactive step to protect the environment in and around the island.

Current Water Quality Efforts On Marco Island

Now, Marco Island is also considering going back to monthly testing to get a better database, to make sure that at least Marco Island’s environment stays clean. Obviously, this needs to be a regional effect and other areas are only now considering these steps. In Marco Island though, planners are staying ahead of the game. Great consideration is going into using smart building techniques, which even includes thoughtful landscaping. Local landscapers work with their clients to make sure that any runoff doesn’t discharge directly into canals. The City of Marco Island also requires site-plan reviews even for things like walkways and patios. While at first, this might seem aggravating, it’s an effort to make sure that the amount of permeable areas can handle on-site stormwater. Plus, it helps ensure that we have a proper ratio of hardscape surfaces.

All of these efforts are setting Marco Island ahead of other Florida municipalities and helping to maintain our pristine ecosystem.
