Residents' Beach - Beach in Marco Island - 130 S Collier Blvd, USA

Residents' Beach is truly a piece of Heaven on Earth. This exclusive area for Marco Island owners and annual renters is the most serene, beautiful, and well-equipped places on Marco Island. With clean facilities and quality food, this is our favorite place on Marco Island. We're grateful for MICA and their team for their upkeep and management.

We spent 4 weeks in July/August on Marco Island (rented an Airbnb in a condo). The beach is huge with not many people, the water was extremely warm (+30...+32C) and clean (no red tide or sea weed). Occasionally we also saw dolphins and manatees. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous large beach. Only giving it a 4 as its so sad this very large stretch of beach is all private. It is definitely big enough to open it to the public. I dislike the fact that so many ocean beaches are not accessible to all. I understand it- but no one owns the ocean but the access to them are private. Thank you to the extremely lovely couple who invited us for the afternoon.

Our family has lived in Marco Island for over 50 years. We LOVE residents beach. There is only ONE issue that is reoccurring and unnecessary. Dan at the front gate is very rude. When our family was exiting, we stopped to show our residents card, didn't say a word, but Dan took that as an insult for some reason and began to lecture us. As Dan was carrying on, another family saw what was going on and said he did the same thing to them recently as well. I want to be clear that Residents Beach, the food hut and all other people who work there are extremely nice but Dan is not a good fit for this environment. Completely unnecessary and Dan needs to be taught a lesson on customer service and being professional.

Beautiful facility and beach! ⛱ Been coming here for years when visiting from the North. This could be my favorite place on earth, my happy place. Great spot for getting sunset photos. The kids love coming to this beach as well. Very well groomed beach, white and sandy.

FYI : Private beach! This beach has pros and cons. Pros- Great little snack shack grill, clean bathrooms, Tiki huts and playgrounds for children. Cons: Unless you OWN property on Marco, and can prove this with multiple tax receipts, utility records, it's almost impossible to get a yearly pass. It was embarrassing when I showed up with a member (with their membership pass) and I was questioned why I was there...umm to go to the beach with my friend....anyway, the Keepers of the guard gate always have an attitude and are less than inviting. It's more like Fort Knox. It's pretty sad. It seems like a "Good ole boys club" rather than a welcoming place for residents. PS- YOU WILL BE LOCKED IN THE PARKING LOT IF YOU NOT GONE BEFORE 2 MINUTES OF CLOSING TIME.

Only open to residents of Marco Island but if your able to go with a resident it is well worth the trip. Parking lot, outside eatery, amazing beach!!

Very peaceful, especially in the morning. Beautiful white sand, and a lot of pretty shells. The only thing I didn't like too much was the temperature of the water, it was a little warm.
