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.

Did You Know That Even In Florida People Can Be Vitamin D Deficient?!

May 18, 2018 By Dawn

Did you know that even people in the Sunshine State can be vitamin D deficient? According to Dr. Myrdalis Diaz-Ramirez, we’d need to sunbathe for around 15 minutes every day wearing little more than a bikini at noon in order to get our daily dose of vitamin D naturally! Let’s face it, few of us have time to take a sunbathing break in the middle of the day every day. Right?

She also says that that sunbathing session would be counterproductive if we wear sunscreen. She says that sunscreen above a protection factor of 15 will block almost all the rays that trigger the making of vitamin D in our skin!

Have you had a vitamin D test, or did you just figure that living in Florida automatically means you won’t be vitamin D deficient?

Old Marco Island Couples Quaint Fishing Village Feel With Spectacular Luxury

May 7, 2018 By Dawn

Old Marco was once a fishing village in its early days. Before the explosive growth and development across much of Marco Island, it also featured a clam cannery and a pineapple plantation. It’s rich with over a century of history. Real estate in Old Marco offers you friendly neighbors, beautiful and luxurious homes, and breathtaking views.

Old Marco never quite lost its fishing roots. Even still, fishing boats leave Old Marco Island daily for adventure.The area features a maze of canals and roadways, spectacular condominium complexes and homes right on the water. You’ll even find cozy one-bedroom homes perfect for starting out or retiring.

There’s even the Marco Island Historical Museum, which explores the now permanently lost Calusa and Muspa Native Americans. They belong among Ten Thousand Islands district of the Glades culture. Old Marco is the site of a famous 1895 archaeological expedition. The Key Marco Cat (a half feline, half human being carved into wood) is considered one of the most intriguing Native American artifacts ever discovered in Florida. It was found right here in the very soil that is now Old Marco.

Tigertail Beach Clean-Up Volunteers Greeted By Gorgeous Blue Herons

April 19, 2018 By Dawn

Last week, a beach clean-up event at Tigertail Beach brought out volunteers. The volunteers were greeted by a spectacular display of lagoon residents including great blue herons, white ibis, egrets, willets and ibis. Thanks to timing of the clean-up event, the low tide made it easier to wade into the lagoon to collect litter left behind by less thoughtful beach goers. It was also the perfect time to watch these beautiful creatures looking for food in the mudflats.

Volunteers found the beach pretty clean even though the last two quarterly clean-ups were cancelled. The September event was cancelled because of the hurricane, and the December clean-up event saw a rare downpour!

No matter where you live on Marco Island, you’re near Tigertail Beach. Tigertail Beach is a local favorite. It’s well-suited for families and nature lovers. The beach offers showers, restrooms, and a concession. You’ll also enjoy a scenic boardwalk and a lovely butterfly garden.

Tigertail Beach, a Collier County park, and fairly new. Just a decade ago, the gorgeous natural area was no more than an off-shore sandbar. The winds of Hurricane Wilma piled up the sand and connected it to the mainland. Now, it’s Collier County’s treasured secret beach connected to a quiet lagoon. The whole area is a nature-lover’s treasure.

Marco Island’s Hottest Fishing Spots

April 8, 2016 By Angie Johnston

If you’re moving to Marco Island and find that fishing is the best way to spend a day, you’re definitely not alone—and we’ll give you the inside scoop on the best fishing spots on the island.

Where to Fish on Marco Island

Lowdermilk Park

Lowdermilk Park is the perfect place to fish for big snook, and if you’re bringing live shrimp or sardines, you’re likely to snag more than a few.

Venetian Bay

Show up early in the small cove on Venetian Bay and you’ll have your pick of the best spot. Some people recommend the jetty, too, which is just as filled with great fish.

Caxambus Park Landing

The Launch Store is a great spot to grab some bait if you’re heading to Caxambus Park Landing. This almost-secret hotspot is packed with fish that love live shrimp.

Honorable Mention: Goodland, Florida

The tiny community of Goodland, Florida, is a charming fishing village tucked away on the southeast corner of Marco Island.

This little village is extremely popular among Marco Island residents—particularly on Sundays, when hundreds of locals head to Stan’s Idle Hour restaurant, where there’s live outdoor music, great drinks, and plenty of dancing.

So why does it get an honorable mention? Because you don’t have to go there for the fishing… the company is just as good!
