Some Interesting Facts About Marco

  • Marco Island is the largest of Florida's Ten Thousand Islands, covering over 35,000 acres.

 

  • The island is home to the only existing Native American shell mound in the region, dating back to the Calusa tribe.  The shell mounds at Otter Mound Preserve were created by the Calusa people centuries ago from discarded shells of oysters, clams, and other shellfish. 

 

  • Marco Island was named after a shipwrecked Spanish explorer who was said to have perished on the island in the 1500s.  When Spanish explorers came to the island in the mid-1500s, they gave the island the name La Isla de San Marcos after St. Mark, traditionally considered the author of the Gospel of Mark.

Oyster Society Happy Hour

We were at The Oyster Society the other evening during Happy Hour and loved having one of my go-to Mai Tai drinks for 10$.  I think this is a great special, and here is the Entire Happy Hour Menu.  I did love it when they made them by hand versus pre-mixed, but it was delicious and affordable.  They have live music on certain evenings, and it is generally a lively event.
