City of Marco Island Prepares for Labor Day Visitors

Trash: Beaches are crowded on holiday weekends. We ask beachgoers to put trash in the receptacles or pack it up and take it with you. Do not leave personal items or trash on the beach. The City picks up trash at the Maple Ave. and Winterberry beach access points. The County collects trash at Tigertail and South Beach. We arrange for multiple pick-ups each day during holiday weekends. 

Noise: Marco Island noise ordinance will be enforced and there are no warnings given after 10:00 PM. Any concerns related to noise should be reported to the Marco Island Police Department at 239-389-5050. 

Parking:BeachparkingisavailableatTigertailBeach,SouthBeach,andthereareprivate for-pay parking lots on Collier Blvd. Vehicles must not block the road to wait for parking spaces. While parking in the swales is legal, some residential streets are marked indicating that parking in the swales is prohibited. Vehicles that are parked illegally may be ticketed and are subject to being towed. 

Beaches: We are now in sea turtle nesting season. If you dig holes or build sand structures on the beach, fill in the holes and remove any obstacles that could create a false crawl for our sea turtles. Dogs, bikes, glass, and fires are not allowed on the beach. 

Boating traffic: Residents and visitors should expect heavy boating traffic, and all boaters must observe no-wake zones. Violations of the speed limits for boats and jet skis or operating a motorized vessel in an unauthorized area may incur a fine.
