Can’t wait we are going on July 23 Very excited thank for the video 🤗

[@SharkBite55]

This video brought back a flood of nostalgic memories. I resided on Marco for some eight years after sailing in and meeting who would later become my cherished life companion. She claimed that she was an original pilgrim who negotiated with the Caloosahachie Indians. Sadly she passed away some 3 1/2 years ago. Mary Neale, R.N. 1952-2020.

Amazing Review!!!! Five stars on your End for painting the perfect picture to a perfect Honeymoon come this July. I pretty much will be using this video as an itinerary . I can't wait to show my Fiance this video. Thank you again for putting this together! We will be staying in the JWB Marriot and I am more than pleased with the Tranquility and Peacefulness the island has to offer. I just left Hollywood, Fl. and althought its beautiful in its own right . It is VERY busy and loud so looking foward to marco midnight as we will be in bed around 9 sleeping by 10 and up for coffee around 530 6 am!!! THANKYOU AGAIN

[@Lsmoe]

Thanks for the tips ! Went to Lee Be's it nice ! Snooks was next door with live music but really crowded and 50min wait. Went back next day for lunch. But Sweet Annie's was my favorite. Omg do they put crack in there ice cream 🍨😂😂😂😂 ? Cause I went back 3 days straight! Soooo many flavors but! I'm a chocolate chip guy. Had an amazing time! Thanks again !💪🏾😎🏝

[@gloabelnhltraveler]

Going next week! Wish you did a review on places to stay.

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

I’ll work on that- I am always staying at my parents house when I visit so I don’t tend to get to explore the hotels

[@jeremyenglish1959]

If you just go to South Beach, the Dolphins are there almost every day. My wife and I have went on a Jet Ski Tour with Captain Ron twice, and it was great but they tend to be pretty expensive. Have to try and eat at Joey's. Anyone that would like to sit down and listen to some good music, have dinner, and watch the sunset on the water, visit the Snook Inn. My wife and I have wanted to go to Stan's, but every year we go, they are closed for the off season. Hopefully one day we will make it.

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

Yes the Jet Ski tours certainly aren’t cheap, but I do enjoy them. Thanks for the advice on south beach. There are a lot of good places to eat on the island - I feel like even thought I’ve been to many there are always more I haven’t tried yet.

[@nancyreber8201]

Great tour and ideas! Coming for the first time April 2023. Staying at the Marriott time share. Any other recommendations for restaurants, shelling , and golf appreciated

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

Have fun! I've got multiple Marco videos. I did quite a few tours there as well- check those out and they might give you more ideas.

[@childofhashem7350]

I'm glad that I stumbled on this video. My family and I are going to Marco in April. We have visited several times before, but only for a day, as we normally stay up north in Ft Myers or Sarasota. This year will be the first time that we will be staying on Marco for the whole vacation. Looking very forward to it. You have shown a lot of places that I have never seen or heard of. We will definitely try some of your suggestions out..... One questions... how is the whole mask thing on Marco? We don't really want to be muzzled while on vacation.

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

Well if you are outside, like on the beach, generally people try to socially distance, but they don’t wear masks. However most business and restaurants either request or require masks. It’s very similar to most places.

[@childofhashem7350]

@@BraggworthyAdventures Thank you for the update. 😷

[@jb1543]

Great vid! Just one suggestion. You might want to add chapters for each of your venues. Makes it easy for viewers to find specific venues and gives you better ranking on KZbin.

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

That is a great idea! By chapters do you mean the time stamp feature? I can definitely go back and do that. I appreciate the feedback ☺️

Do you have any suggestions for going around the beginning of October?

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

October is a great time since it the weather isn't too crazy balmy and yet not too cool. I'd say watch the weather and try to do some fun things outside. I have some videos on tours like Jet Ski or boat tours that you might enjoy :)

I’m so interested in going to Marco island, but I see it’s close to the Everglades. Is there more alligators and snakes there as opposed to other parts of Florida?

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

It is near the Everglades but on the island I’ve never come across a stray alligator. I would say it’s about the same as most parts of Florida.

[@DeVonMArtis]

We loved our visit to Marco island. Is there any alligator concern while kayaking in Marco?

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

I haven't seen any on Marco Island, but it is always good to be aware of your surroundings.

The only developed land @12:58 in the Ten Thousand Islands? What about Chokoloskee? Thanks for the good guide video.

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

Well if it isn’t the only developed land in the Ten Thousand islands I guess the Florida tourism board needs to update their website lol this is where I confirmed that information before I shared in the video in case you are interested- www.visitflorida.com/en-us/cities/marco-island.html But you raise a good point. Not sure why Chokoloskee isn’t taken into account. 🤔 thanks so much for watching!

No golf courses?

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

I know they have the club on the island with golfing and even a mini golf course, but I don't really golf myself, so I can't speak to the experience. Next time I make a video on Marco I will have my Dad give his opinion since he golfs regularly.

[@ilovenyiloveny1140]

Wild dolphins. What, as opposed to domestic dolphins? 🤣🤣🤣

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

Lol I mean rather than the dolphins in zoos or aquariums

[@mrbyrne96]

I’m from Marco Island. Here’s my list: Get yourself a fishing license from the sunshine ace hardware first and foremost. Cops and FFW won’t be kind to you tourists. Avoid Sand-Bar, it’s a tourist trap and will sell you overpriced beer with a side of uneducated populism. Go to Nacho Mama’s, Margarita’s, Sunset Grille, Snook Inn, Crazy Flamingo’s, The Speakeasy and Goodland. You want to go fishing for sure, but avoid Keewaydin, unless you wanna be greeted by a thousand tourists and drunk locals. Head up into the Mangroves nearing Naples. and though it may not be on MARCO go to Island Gypsy on Isle of Capri. Tell em Joe Byrne sent you. Get a big ole Crazy Cuban Rum Cocktail and a shot of house tequila and tip them well. And for the love of god, don’t turn your hazards on when it rains. It’s raining. We know. we can see you without your hazards. And last, come out of season. Visit Cocomo’s. Get a Publix Sub. Go to Blue Mangrove Gallery, and get a drink down at Rose River Marina, and the Marco Island Brewery. Most importantly Have a good time and make your own path. Just steer clear of the ridiculous crap. Marco is so much more than a tourist destination. Check out Indian Hill on the south of the island Highlands while you’re here. Respect our island. Please. Respect it’s history.

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

Thanks for adding so much good information. I am not much of a fishing person, but I will have to try some of these things out.

I was going to go to Marco Island, but after watching this video it appears to be boring.

[@BraggworthyAdventures]

It can be slow paced. Although it does have a bar scene and resorts. If you are looking for a fast paced environment, I’d suggest Miami or Orlando as places to visit in Florida.
