Marco Island
Waterfront & Beachfront Parks on Marco Island
Several of Marco Island’s parks sit right on the water — the ones you want for launching a boat, walking a beach without a resort, or watching birds work the flats.
Caxambas Park at the south end is the island’s public boat ramp, the main launch point toward the Ten Thousand Islands and Cape Romano. Tigertail Beach is a beach park on the northwest lagoon, Resident’s Beach Park fronts the Gulf off S Collier, and the Nature Preserve & Bird Sanctuary and Gene Sarazen Park add waterside green space.
Where is the public boat ramp on Marco Island?
Caxambas Park at the south end of the island has the public boat ramp — it’s the usual launch point for trips out to the Ten Thousand Islands and the Cape Romano dome homes.
