Why You Should Fly to Marco Island

Miles of white sandy beaches, boat trips through mangrove swamps and fishing in one of the most laid-back places in Florida: welcome to Marco Island.

When to Book Flights to Marco Island

Spring is the season that most people come to the island, with pleasant temperatures and less rain than at other times of year. However, it can get crowded and more expensive at this time.

It’s cheaper to visit in the summer, through July and August. This is largely thanks to the high amount of rainfall, although it is still very warm.

November, before Thanksgiving, is another good period to visit as it’s very mild but still relatively inexpensive, or you can visit in December for a spot of winter sun.

Main Airports in Marco Island

There is a public airport on Marco Island offering limited flights to destinations in Florida and the Keys.
