BUSY MARCO ISLAND SEASON
If you have ever planned a vacation to southwest Florida, you probably planned it when you and your family had some time off. Most American families get Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter off. Those just happen to be the 3 busiest holidays and weeks of the year on Marco Island and Naples, Florida.
Eco-tour operators, hotels, restaurants and local businesses all rely on “Season” which typically runs from Thanksgiving through Easter on Marco Island and peaks during the middle of March. The population of Marco Island is around 15,000 full-time residents and that will almost quadruple to 55,000 people during March and April. …but why? There are 2 big reasons:
1) Spring Break:
Every elementary and high school up north have a different week that they have spring break vacation on. So eco-tour operators, restaurants, shops and businesses will be extremely busy for at least 6 weeks from the beginning of March through the middle of April. Easter also plays an important role as it’s on a different date every year, so that can also shorten up or lengthen the tail-end of busy season in April. Usually around April 23rd, all the spring breakers have headed north to go back to school and Marco Island returns to normal.
2) Snowbirds:
Usually when the first big snow storm hits up north, retirees or people that have a secondary home on Marco Island and Naples, will stay 4-5 months to here to avoid the harsh winters up north. November through April temperatures on Marco Island and Naples are very accommodating. Usually in the 70’s with low humidity and very little rain. You know season has begun when all the transport semi-trucks arrive with all the high end cars on them.
