Shelling on the white sandy seashore of Marco rivals any beach on earth. Fill pails with flawless
mementos of your stay in paradise. Fish among the mangrove islands, or cast your line in the deep
sea to reel in redfish, tarpon, sea trout, grouper, king mackerel, snapper, among others. Parasail,
jet ski, canoe, kayak, bird watch, or set sail on an excursion to encounter native wildlife—
bottle-nose dolphins, manatees, sea otters, alligators, crocodile, pelicans, herons, egrets, and
more. Or, simply relax under the warm sun with that good book you’ve been wanting to read.
