Popular magazine Reader’s Digest highlighted several South Florida beaches in a February article titled “15 Best Beaches in Florida Locals Want to Keep Secret.”
One Collier County beach made the cut: Tigertail Beach on Marco Island.
What did Reader’s Digest say about Tigertail Beach?
Best for: Swimming and bird-watchingAfter you park your car and start walking toward the water ahead of you, you might ask yourself: Is this the beach? It certainly is “a beach,” but what you see from the parking lot is actually just a huge lagoon, full of birds and tidal pools. And yes, plenty of people set up camp right there! But if you walk just a few minutes past the lagoon (sometimes, depending on the tide, you’ll have to wade through), you’ll get to the real star: three miles of soft, wide sand, fiddler crabs and beautiful migratory shorebirds.
The author, Liz Zack, also recommends watching the sunset and then
grabbing a bite to eat at Sami’s, a local favorite that serves Italian dishes.
What other Southwest Florida beaches were included?
- Bowman’s Beach, Sanibel
- Boca Grande, Gasparilla Island
- Turner Beach, Captiva
- Lover’s Key State Park, near Fort Myers Beach
