Marco Island is located in southwest Florida on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico. It is home to a permanent population of 15,000 people and boasts 6 miles of beach. The island is a popular destination for travelers during the winter months because of its warm climate. There is always plenty to do in this tropical paradise, all year round.
While Marco Island is famous for its white sandy beaches, it's also home to a large arts community. The Art League of Marco Island houses two galleries that are free of charge to visitors. The galleries frequently host outdoor shows and festivals featuring live entertainment and exhibits suitable for the whole family.
