Well, like some said Marco Island is more relaxing, the beach is BEAUTIFUL, and you get the sunsets. There are a few outlets around the area and those are cool.
West Palm has more stuff to do because it's a bigger city, but I like the beach at Marco a lot better.

I love Marco Island and the Marriott Hotel there is thee best.....absolutely wonderful service. Then there is Naples only a few miles away with great restaurants and shops that make your money just flow

Never been to West Palm Beach so don't know about that city in Fl. Have fun and relax in the sun.

You can also rent a car and go to Fort Myers Beach, Lovers Key, and Naples. There is a small outlet mall right off Sanibel Island and there is also Miromar Outlet Mall in Estero.

Of course, since I live here, I would rather go to SoBe, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale but thats just my personal preference.

Oh here is a picture on Marco taken this past April....what I call a view of paradise

Oh I have to second this opinion....I just LOVE the Ft Myers/Sanibel area. It is so relaxing and quiet!! My hubby and I just came back from Sanibel and it was awesome. We rented bikes and Mopeds all weekend to get around the island. We took Murphy and Mia too and they loved it - the dogs can walk on the beaches there too!!

Did you say - are you taking your babies with you?

Nikki+2 · 11-15-2007, 06:40 AM

Hey Caren, he's not taking them.

I haven't been to Marco but I LOVE Sanibel. I have heard that condos are really taking over Marco, like most of our beaches, I don't know if that's true but it's definitely not like that in Sanibel. LOL, are you confused enough yet Kyle?

crystalsmom · 11-15-2007, 06:54 AM

I love Sanibel too but I just remembered the best vacation we ever had in Florida was in northern Fl. at Amelia Island. It was glorious and I think they still have a Marriott there.

Maybe you could go to all five LOL

crystalsmom · 11-15-2007, 07:16 AM

In looking to find that Amelia Island has one of the 10 best beaches in the U.S. I found this , a spot that we have forgotten in Florida and I would love to go.

Nooo, I'm not confused.

I just can't decide between the two! I'm leaning more towards Marco for the beach but I'm worried that there won't be enough to do. Hmm.

Sookie · 11-15-2007, 07:37 AM

I have a condo on Marco and I agree that the Marriott is really nice. They just re-did it and the new pool is amazing. You can get your own private cabana. Very cool!! However, outside of the Marriott they do roll in the sidewalks early on Marco. Even I wish there was more to do on Marco in the evenings and I'm a lot older than you.

The last time I was in Marco (September) there was a lot of road construction going on, which was a big pain in the butt. They might be finished by now but I doubt it - I can find out for sure if you need me to.

Of course, Naples is nearby and there is always something to do in Naples but I wouldn't consider it very spring-break-like. If you are going to relax, it's great and you can have lots of fun without even leaving the Marriott. They have a couple of nice clubs right on the beach.

Oh and there is usually a fun crowd in the evening at the Esplanade and Cap'n O'Brien's has a comedy club now. PM me if you need more info about anything on Marco.

Hee, hee....Lets see if we can confuse you some more......JUST KIDDING.

I would go to West Palm if you are worried about not having enough to do. It is very relaxed in Marco.

Not to shove West Palm down your throat but there's beaches there too of course. The ocean is absolutely gorgeous in S. Florida.

Yorkiekids · 11-15-2007, 09:06 AM

Marco Island has plenty to do. There's boating, scuba diving, fishing, shell collecting, midnight cruises, and all kinds of shops in the neighboring citys. Plus no Spring Breakers.

BubblPopElectrc · 11-16-2007, 01:37 PM

So I'm going to...

MARCO BEACH!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I really appreciate it.
