    Sunset from our site
    Jennifer B.

    First of all, we picked this place because of location, and it just looked cool on the website. Not at all fancy, which is what we wanted. We go to check in, and walk in the front door and the lady behind the desk is on the phone. After several minutes of standing there, she asks if she can help us. We say we are checking in and she just hands us a piece of paper and then continues on with her conversation. Ok. 1 star. Then a guy on a quad says to follow him and he takes us to our site. It had been raining a lot recently and the whole park is grass so it's a little muddy. No big deal. Can't control the weather. We are basically the only people in the park. There were a couple other RVs but they looked like they haven't moved in a few years. Awesome! We have dogs and didn't have to worry about bothering others. 5 stars! The facilities are decent. Old and not updated. There were a few mosquitoes but you're staying in an area with lots of ponds in the south of Florida so it's to be expected. We go back to the office to ask about tours and what all they offered, because they have tons of signs on the road and outside about activities, and the lady is STILL on the phone. We stand there again for a few minutes and finally she's like can I help you? We said we just wanted to know about the activities. She seemed annoyed and told the person on the phone to hang on. And she then told us that they are only renting canoes at this time due to COVID. Ok, understandable. The store is full of tourist gifts. Shirts and funny stickers. They have a cool little reptile rescue in the back that is free if you are staying at the park. $12 if you aren't. Overall, we enjoyed our time there.

    Cute cabin but lots of  mosquitos can get in

    Rented a Chickee hut and it was cute BUT..... The Mosquito situation was out of control. The first night was pretty unbelievable we rented it for three nights and on the second morning we were so bit up we left that morning (losing our $200 for the third night) and rented a luxury hotel room on Vero Beach for the same price. For the money they charge you think they could fix up the place so that you're not a mosquito snack bar. I'm an avid backpacker and have been camping my entire life and I think we have PTSD from staying in this mosquitos infested hut. The location was great though and we got to see a lot of wildlife.

    Tigertail Beach is a unique destination and an adventure for visitors to Marco Island, a corner of…read moreFlorida surrounded by the Everglades and mangrove islands. The beach is named after a Seminole leader and what makes it so special is that it is divided by a tidal lagoon. The developed lagoon side is an important bird habitat and it has amenities like a playground and restrooms. To reach the beach side you wade through the lagoon which is about 50 yards and which allows you to reach the waters of the Gulf. If you prefer not to walk through the lagoon you can walk around the lagoon to the south to reach the beach in about 20 minutes. The main part of Tigertail Beach across from the lagoon is Sand Dollar Island or Sand Dollar Spit. The area was an off shore sandbar completely surrounded by water until the winds of Hurricane Wilma and erosion connected it to Marco Island. It is known for its incredible deposits of sand dollars, giving it the name and making it a favorite spot to find sand dollars and shells. Adjacent to the park is Big Marco Pass Critical Wildlife Area managed by the state and it is a resting site for a variety of migratory shorebirds. Tigertail Beach is a birding hot spot during spring and fall migration. It is a part of the Great Florida Birding Trail, one of the longest running programs of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The trail consists of more than 500 wildlife viewing sites across the state. Things to keep in mind, if you are going to to the beach pack what you can carry if you plan on crossing the lagoon. Most people carry their belongings overhead. Parking is ten dollars to park or a Collier County beach pass. if you like a beach adventure and nature, this may be the experience for you.

    The sand here is white and like quicksand, so soft. Best time to go is early in the morning or…read moreafter 3pm otherwise impossible to find parking. You can walk through the inlet (in water - if youre under 5'8" youre going to get more than your legs wet) and then over to the beach...if you walk north, its less busy and you feel like youre on your own remote beach. Its not a deep beach so in areas near parking it can get crowded, but if youre up for a walk, its worth it!

    This State Park does a good job of dotting the " i's " and crossing the " t's ". There's hiking…read moretrails, camping, fishing, kayaking / canoeing, a pavilion, picnic tables, kiddies playground, and some interesting historical items. Admission is $5.00 per vehicle (maximum of 8 people), or $2.00 per person (pedestrians or bicyclists). I was on my motorcycle so I fell in the top category. I rode to the boat launch area first. This was a nice place to launch a boat or kayak. It was a protected bay like area. There was a floating boat dock nearby where one could fish from. In the same area as the boat launch was the hiking trail. It was closed (the park employee at the entrance had already told me) probably because of Hurricane Ian damages? Also the picnic and playground area was in this area. here. Restrooms are on site too. The next stop I visited while in the park was the historic Bay City Walking Dredge No. 489. This feat of engineering was used in the 1920's to help build the Tamiami Trail through the Florida Everglades. From the information provided, "Built in Bay City Michigan, this walking dredge followed the drilling and blasting rigs, averaging 80 feet per 10 hour shift. Dynamite was used to blast the limestone into small enough chunks for the dredge to lift." The road was completed, finally linking Tampa to Miami in 1928, with the help of this machine. For the mechanical and engineering nerds (like me), you'll want to see and read about this. Ha! I had a good time here and recommend you check this place out. I am going with 4 stars because the hiking trail was closed and the canoe rental cabin where one could also buy drinks was closed. Hopefully these will open in the near future.

    I drove in to let my dog out for a pee real quick but I saw you gotta pay for this park so I turned…read moreright around:) I'm not paying for my dogs little walk. But maybe I'll come back one day for a planned visit

    Kirby Storter Roadside Park gets you up close and personal to the grandeur of Big Cypress Preserve…read more The park is named for Kirby Storter, a member of one of the areas pioneering families. He worked as an electrician and carpenter for Barron Collier and he also worked for the Florida Roads Department where he oversaw the construction of the Tamiami Trail which the park sits on. The parks was created through the efforts of Friends of Big Cypress Preserve. This park is located halfway through Big Cypress Preserve. There are picnic tables and a primitive restroom next to the parking area. From the parking lot you can take a stroll on a half mile boardwalk that takes you from a sawgrass prairie to a cypress swamp before ending at a gator hole. This area provides food and shelter for alligators, birds, reptiles, and mammals. The park is open dawn to dusk and it is a great place to get out and stretch your legs. I didn't see any alligators but I did spot some turtles and birds. Interpretive signs along the way let you know what you are looking at. My favorite boardwalk along Tamiami Trail is the Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk but this one is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.

After we had our lunch, we decided to take a walk on the bridge to see where it took us. A lot of walking and we finally hit a dead end. I was disappointed that the end of the bridge didn't have better scenery. If it wasn't so hot, I would have enjoyed it a lot more. I DO NOT recommend the restrooms. My husband tried to go in one but turned around and walked right back out. There are more decent restrooms at the Oasis Visitors Center about 2 miles east of here.
