Directions:	Southwest Florida, just off the coast from Naples. From Route 41, take Routes 92 or 951 to the island.
Places to photograph; best time of day/year to shoot; tips about shooting there:	Not many great places to shoot. As a travel location, Marco Island offers nice resorts, restaurants and shopping, but not much aesthetic character. For character, visit downtown and coastal Naples instead, about a 30 minute drive away. Being an island, you can photograph sunsets and sunrises pretty easily, but there's not much to work with in the way of foreground scenery — some palm trees, boats, and that's about it. Dolphins are often spotted off shore, but you're not likely to find a good spot to photograph them from land; instead, you'll have to get a boat. Routes 92 and 951 have nice bridges that cross to the island and can be shot at "magic hour" either morning or end of day.
Area labs, camera stores, etc.:
Other notes:	Weather is typical for South Florida: nice in fall, winter and spring, but brutally hot from mid-May to mid-September. Other noteworthy places in the general area: · Historic and Downtown Naples · Big Cypress National Preserve · Everglades National Park · Ten Thousand Islands Aquatic Preserve · Key West
