Marco Island Adventures
By Charlie. Filed in Travel |
Heading out onto a thin lined sandy beach layered with rolling green grass, sand traps and bordered by ocean water sounds like a golfing adventure to me. One wrong whack and that ball is going to be a dolphin toy. Check out Hammock Bay Golf and Country Club for some intense golf played on a course built by Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy. 18 holes of championship greens, marshes, lakes, beach bunkers and mangroves to challenge golfers of all levels. Even if there is only time for a little short game on the putting greens and some lunch, it is well worth the visit.
For more adventures get out and swim with the dolphins, boat with the dolphins and watch them play with their young is quite a special experience. There are tours available from hotels like this on Marco Island that can get you a front row seat to all the dolphins, Manatees, sea turtles, sea rays, and other colorful fish off the shore line and through the water ways of the thousand islands.
How about a more mellow yet athletic form of exploration. Rent a Kayak or canoe and paddle your way through the golden marshes of the everglades. See more wildlife as you sneak up on them doing what ever it is they do. There are lots of tranquil waters, sawgrass marshes, cypress swamps and mangrove tree tunnels to explore while getting a bit of exercise and fresh air. This is one way to feel like you are apart of the scenery and close to the creatures that live there. There are hundreds of birds wading in the shallow waters and the transition from day to night is spectacular with the brilliant sunset lowering and the moon rising. A breath taking view around every corner and above every tree. Check out the Marco Island Concierge for more information on all sorts of adventures available.
