Fifth Avenue South
Home » Casual Dining on Marco Island

Fifth Avenue South – Naples

Key Takeaways

  • Fifth Avenue South in Naples offers a European-inspired, walkable district filled with luxury shops and a vibrant nightlife.
  • The Naples Pier is an ideal spot for sunset views and relaxing by the shore after a downtown outing.
  • Kilwin’s Ice Cream on Fifth Avenue is a favorite stop for a sweet treat after shopping and sightseeing.

5th Avenue SouthWhile much of Naples has a sprawling, suburban feel, its historic downtown is a lot different.  Fifth Avenue South is a beautiful, European-flavored and highly walkable district.  It is jam-packed with high-end luxury shops (Naples is one of the wealthiest cities in America) and a thriving bar and restaurant scene. This area is where most of the action takes place.  Third Street South is another lively sector buzzing with nightlife on the weekends. The night hours are especially special and romantic with the lighted palm trees, expensive cars cruising the street, and people watching. You never know who you may spot on Fifth Avenue South!

Naples Pier

Naples Pier at Sunset

After drinks and dinner in downtown, stroll a couple blocks over to the Naples Pier and listen to the waves crash along the shore.  This is also the perfect place to capture that perfect sunset picture even if you are an amateur photographer.  (I captured this pic with my cell phone).  The pier area can be a little crowded for the sunset hour,  so get there early, especially if you need a parking spot. See related article, “See the Naples Pier at Sunset”: https://seamarcondo.com/seeing-the-naples-pier-at-sunset/

There’s Always Kilwin’s Ice Cream!

Kilwin's Ice Cream Naples

I have to admit that my favorite place on Fifth Avenue is the Kilwin’s ice cream shop.  After walking around shopping and sightseeing it is a real treat to visit Kilwin’s.  I also love all the specialty shops that have so many unique items. It’s a great place to get that perfect gift to take to someone back home! I love getting my long sleeve T-Shirts here on Fifth Avenue – nice quality and comfy!

Marco Island Deep Sea Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico

Marco Island Deep Sea Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico
Home » Casual Dining on Marco Island

Key Takeaways

  • Marco Island offers thrilling fishing in the Gulf, attracting many visitors throughout the year.
  • The shallow waters teem with species like Tarpon and Snook, while deep-sea fishing yields Grouper and King Mackerel.
  • Since deeper waters are accessible within 30 miles, fishing here is exciting with minimal waiting.
  • New reefs enhance fishing opportunities for Grouper, Snapper, and more, making it a hotspot for anglers.
  • Local charter services will clean your catch, and nearby restaurants will prepare it for your dinner.

Marco Island Deep Sea Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico is a thrill to many of our island visitors!

The area around Marco boasts some of the best year-round sportfishing in the world.  It is surrounded by water with the 10,000 Islands to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west.  Marco Island is located in southwest Florida. It is just 10 miles south of Naples and 85 miles north of Key West.

The shallow waters around Marco and the 10,000 Islands hold sportfish such as Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, and Sea Trout. For those of you that prefer the deep waters, venture into the Gulf of Mexico for a catch of Grouper, Snapper, King Mackerel, Little Tuni, shark, and Cobia.

BIG Fish, tough fighting fish and great edible fish….they are all here on Marco Island!

Deep Sea Fishing Marco Island
Fishing in the Gulf off Marco Island

Many of our guests at Sea Mar Condo look forward to a day excursion of deep sea fishing in the Gulf.  It is a great place to find varied fishing all year round. Charter boats go out each day. Many of the island restaurants are waiting to prepare your catch of the day when you get off the boat!

Offshore fishing from Marco Island is quite different from most other places. Even when you are 30 miles out you may still be in 60-70 feet of water. This means there is no trolling and waiting hours for a bite. Reefs, shipwrecks, and hard bottom within reasonable depths make great havens for a variety of fish.

A day offshore fishing is a great family event. The fishing is definitely tougher. The fish are certainly bigger – with grouper 100+ pounds common. Larger king mackerel, snapper, shark, cobia, and grouper in water up to 80 feet deep will challenge even the best fisherman (or woman).

Depending on what time of the year you visit, you might try fishing the scenic mangrove islands of Marco for Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Pompano, Trout, Snapper, and many others. While you fish, enjoy watching beautiful birds, manatee, and of course dolphins that actually come right up to the boat.

Reefs in the Marco Island Waters

New to our Gulf waters are 36 beautiful reefs funded by BP and some private donors. This should make for some great fishing for all species such as Grouper, Snapper, Amberjack, King Mackerel, Goliath Grouper, and many other species.

The boat captains will clean your catch for you as part of their service. Then you take it to one of the restaurants on the island that prepare it for your dinner that night!

Easy to Make Dolphin Snacks

Dolphin Snacks
Home » Casual Dining on Marco Island

Key Takeaways

  • Dolphin Snacks are fun fruit treats that resemble dolphins and are perfect for beach outings.
  • These snacks are easy to make, inexpensive, and designed to delight both kids and adults.
  • To prepare, slice a banana and arrange it with grapes, blueberries, and cranberries in a cup.
  • While on Marco Island, consider taking an eco tour to see real dolphins and learn about them.
  • Visit the Sea Mar Condo website for more information on dolphin tours and vacation details.

Dolphin snacks at the beach? No, we are not talking about “those” dolphins in the Gulf waters. These are dolphins that are we make from fruit and resemble playful dolphins with a ball in their mouth.

It’s always fun to add that “special’ treat for kids (or adults who like to be kids) at the beach. These cute dolphin snacks are sure to be a hit with the kiddos and adults as well! They are easy to make, inexpensive, and well….just too darn cute!

Let’s get started and prepare these for our beach party guests!

Dolphin Snacks

Prepare a banana by cutting off the bottom end, gently slitting the stem end for a mouth, and drawing a couple of “dolphin eyes” on each side of the end with the slits. Place the banana cut side down in a plastic cup. Fill around the “dolphin” banana with grapes, blueberries, and cranberries. Place a blueberry in the slit (dolphin’s mouth). Serve immediately.

Enjoy your dolphin snacks!

We hope you get to see and meet our “real” Marco Island dolphins! Did you know that all our dolphin family have names? We highly recommend an eco tour on The Dolphin Explorer during your visit. This tour introduces you to the Marco Island dolphins and their habitat. It’s great for adults and children and so much fun! Children get to be “junior” dolphin explorers on these expeditions. Also, if you see a baby dolphin for the first time, you get to help name Marco Island’s newest resident!

Naples: A Perfect Day Trip from Marco Island

Teresa Luber Marco Island Day Trips and Tours, Naples, Things to See and Do in Marco Island , , , , , ,
Naples Fifth Avenue South
Home » Casual Dining on Marco Island

Key Takeaways

  • Start your Day Trip to Naples with breakfast at Doreen’s Cup of Joe, then explore 5th Avenue South for shopping and dining.
  • After lunch, enjoy the beautiful Naples Municipal Beach or visit the Naples Zoo for a unique experience with animals.
  • End your day at Kilwin’s Ice Cream for delicious treats and visit the Naples Pier for stunning sunset views.
  • Enjoy the vibrant evening atmosphere on 5th Avenue South or catch a show at the Naples Performing Arts Theater.
  • Conclude the day by returning to Marco Island, ready to relax and plan your next getaway.

Although I never tire of seeing the beautiful beaches, sometimes a day trip to Naples from Marco Island is just what I need! There is a lot to see and do in the Naples area. Here is a helpful list to help you organize your Naples get-away. (The drive to Naples takes around 30 minutes)

Leaving Marco Island for the Day

Doreen's Cup of Joe Strawberry Pancakes

1. Let’s start with a cup of coffee and breakfast at Doreen’s Cup of Joe before we leave Marco Island for our day trip to Naples. (If coffee is not your way of waking up, there is always the fresh squeezed orange juice). Doreen’s has a wide variety of pancakes, waffles, French Toast, and traditional breakfast plates. This is the perfect place to start your morning.

  5th Avenue South Shopping and Dining

Wind in the Willows Cat

2. Arriving at Naples, I highly suggest going to the 5th Avenue South shopping and dining area first. This street is lined with specialty gift and clothing shops and nice restaurants. Each shop has it’s own “uniqueness” – make sure you go in “Wind in the Willows” which has a “signature” cat that roams the store. Other favorite shops in this area are Chicos, Regatta, and the Blue Mussel.

3. After a few hours shopping, it’s now time for lunch. There are several nice restaurants along 5th Avenue South. The great thing about dining in this area is that the restaurants offer outdoor dining, giving you a great opportunity to people watch. It’s also nice to observe the nice vehicles lining the street – sometimes Bentleys, expensive sports cars, or collectable antique cars. One restaurant I want to try is new to the area – The Pearl Steak and Seafood Restaurant which has Key Lime Pie Cake Doughnuts for desert! I’m thinking yummy!!!

Fifth Avenue South Naples

Beach Time or Zoo Time?

4. After lunch, how about some time on the beach? A short drive to downtown’s Naples Municipal Beach and Pier offers pearlescent sugar sand that runs along the gentle Gulf of Mexico. Activities along the beach range from sunning, walking, fishing, shelling and bird watching. It’s a good idea to bring a shell bag and binoculars. His beach offers a long stretch for walking and relaxing by the sea.

Naples_Zoo

5. If you need a break from the beach, we suggest the Naples Zoo. Naples Zoo is a nationally accredited zoo and yet much more than a walk-through zoo. A paved path winds nearly a mile past rare and beautiful animals residing within a historic tropical garden of tropical plants. In this tropical setting, you can take delight at seeing many of your favorite animals like lions, giraffes, monkeys, pythons, and bears. In addition, you’ll also discover feature exhibits and an array of more rarely seen creatures like the Madagascar or a giant anteater.

 

It’s Ice Cream Time at Kilwin’s

Kilwin's Ice Cream Naples

6. After your day’s adventure at the beach or zoo, how about a visit to Kilwin’s Ice Cream? I have to admit that Kilwin’s is absolutely my favorite place in Naples!!!! In addition to the best ice cream (EVER) their homemade mackinaw style fudge and chocolates are not bad either!

  The Evening Hours in Naples

Naples Pier

7. As the evening arrives and the sunset hour gets close, a visit to the Naples Pier is not to be missed! There is no way I can describe the beauty of a sunset in this special place. Be sure to bring your camera for one of the most memorable photographs you will ever take. As the sun goes down over the Naples Pier you will wonder at the beauty of the moment! Note: The pier is closed for now due to damages by Hurricane Ian; however, the sunsets are still spectacular with the pier in the background. The pier is in the process of being rebuilt.

8. The evening hours are perfect for another stroll along 5th Avenue South. The street is bright with lights from all the beautiful palms. A visit to the Naples Performing Arts Theater with the Naples Players is also a great evening. The theater’s 65th Anniversary Season includes an exciting lineup of shows. including CHICAGO, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas and Guys & Dolls, heartfelt comedies, magical adventures and even a World Premiere Show!

  Returning to Marco Island

9. What an eventful day we’ve had on our day trip to Naples – and now it’s time to return to Marco Island and Sea Mar Condo. If you haven’t made your reservation yet for your Fall and Winter get-away, visit us now to reserve your stay!
