This is my favorite part of Marco Island Beach to visit for shelling. If you go to the very southern tip, you will finds the jackpot of seashells. There is public parking here, but they charge eight bucks.

The cleanest of all the worlds beaches. The nicest tourist come here. 4 & 5 star hotels everywhere and beautiful timeshares for families.

We stayed at a rented house a few blocks from the beach and walked over once or twice a day during our stay on Marco Island. The beach is beautiful and a bit “shelly” if you have sensitive feet, so I recommend bringing water shoes. That said, it sounds like we were there just a week or so after they... More
