If you can bicycle or walk to the South Beach public access. No bikes on the beach but there is a place to park your bicycles just before entering South Beach. The short walk under a palm tree-lined, stone walkway that leads to South Beach provides a tranquil transition to what you are about to witness.

Just to the right of the walkway is the Apollo Resort Condominium. Do not park at the Apollo, use the parking lot located off of Swallow Avenue. There is a small fee unless you have a Collier County Florida Beach Pass on your vehicle.

Arrive early to increase your chance of finding a parking space. The Apollo does have a beachfront bar you may visit. The bar also serves food. You can access the Sunset Grille at the Apollo from the beach, use the walkway leading to the indoor/outdoor bar. DEA is the theme there, meaning Drink Every Afternoon.

What’s the joy of an island without beaches? Marco Island in southwest Florida has some wonderful beaches with beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico. After all, it’s Marco beaches that make magic. Marco Island – the largest of the Ten Thousand Islands – features a magnificent shoreline that stretches from Tigertail to South Beach. Enjoy miles of clean, uncrowded beaches of white sand and famous Marco sunsets. Marco Island Beaches are world famous – one visit here and you will understand why. Marco Island’s crescent-shaped beach extends the entire length of the western side of the island. The “Marco Flash” is the flash of deep blue or green light that occurs very seldom but always just after the sun sets into the Gulf.

Marco Island Beaches are patrolled and are not available for overnight camping. Don’t even think about camping out on Marco Island Beach – the beach patrols are looking out for any unlawful activity, especially just after sunset. Unless you are staying at a beachfront resort or condo you are not permitted to enter Marco Island Beaches after 10:00 pm. Marco Island, and the rest of the 10,000 islands in the Florida Everglades, is an important nesting and migrating area for birds. Wildlife and bird viewing or “birding” is a popular outdoor activity. You should be careful not to disturb island birds and turtles when visiting Marco Island Beaches. Several of the island’s birds and turtles are on the endangered species list and fines are imposed for violators. Due to Marco island’s important and fragile ecosystem, dogs or pets of any kind are not allowed on any Marco Island Beaches.
