4 Girls on Marco Island!
 
3 of my best girlfriends and I are going to Marco Island next weekend - for a 4 day long weekend. We plan to sun, shop, spa and drink! Any suggestions of places to go? The spa at the Marriott and the Marco Polo for dinner have been suggested. We also plan to shop at the outlet mall near Fort Myers. Looking for any other suggestions! Thank you!

Spend an evening on Fifth Avenue South in Naples --Thursday and Friday are the busiest and therefore the most "fun". You can bar hop and do dinner somewhere or have great bar snacks at any of the spots. Don't plan it this time of year, just walk along and do what strikes your fancy.
A designated driver is a good idea though. Or splurge and do a taxi up and back.

Snook Inn on Marco is a fun laid back place on the water, good, cheap food. Great Bloody Mary's if doing "brunch" on Saturday or Sunday. Better for lunch than dinner in my opinion. (I don't deal well with salad bars).

Thanks so much for your suggestions Patrick! They sound great! Especially going to Naples - I hadn't thought of that!

You're welcome. By the way if you come to Naples after shopping at the Miramar Outlets, you'll really feel good about all the money you saved shopping there instead of in our "boutiques"!!

Hi alarki, Im a resident on Marco Island. I also have a few suggestions, No far from Marco Polo is the Sushi Blues and Steak. There is much more than sushi, the steaks are to die for! everything on the menu is delightful, they have a full bar, with cocktails. The outlets are great, I would recommend hiring jetskiis, or going parasailing. There are lots of other great places. hope this info helps. have fun
