Esplanade Shopping
An afternoon at Marco Island’s Esplanade and Smokehouse Bay is an all inclusive treat. Let’s start the afternoon off shopping in the unique shops. This Italian-style village consists of upscale retailers. It also has small specialty stores. The architectural detail is beautiful and colorful. The lush landscaping and fountains add to the experience.
The Esplanade is located on North Collier Boulevard. This is Marco Island’s main street. The area has more than 1,100 feet of waterfront on Smokehouse Bay. There is retail and office space and a 77-boat slip marina. In addition, there are 72 multi-family waterfront residences. Visitors at the Esplanade are treated to the promenade along the waterfront. A courtyard opens to the water. Let’s not forget the beautiful marina. The dining and shopping are fantastic!
Smokehouse Bay Dining
Three of my favorite Marco Island Restaurants are located in the Esplanade. CJs, Mangos, or Deep Lagoon offers delicious waterfront dining. Be sure to take your camera! This is definitely one of the most beautiful places on the island. You can capture a fantastic sunset picture over the marina bay. It is also a very relaxing spot to have an after dinner drink. Watch as the sun slowly sinks below the horizon for a magical evening. You may even see the Marco Island Green Flash!
And don’t forget sweet endings with an ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery.
