Tigertail Beach

Located at 480 Hernando Drive, Tigertail Beach Park is a unique 42-acre Collier County park on Marco Island, Florida, known for its combination of family-friendly amenities and untamed natural beauty. The park features a shallow tidal lagoon separating the mainland from Sand Dollar Island (part of the Big Marco Pass Critical Wildlife Area), which visitors can reach by wading across the water or walking the scenic trail around the north end. Renowned as a premier bird-watching spot and a haven for shelling, the park offers a playground, picnic areas, a two-level observation tower, and restrooms, while requiring a $10 daily parking fee for non-residents.
