Pros: Close to Marco Island while maintaining a feeling of remoteness. Beachfront camping permitted.
Cons: No facilities. Need a boat to access.
Likely visitors: Adventurous visitors willing to rent a boat or canoe/kayak and locals wanting to beach camp.
Getting there: Cape Romano/Kice Island is a little southwest of Caxambas Pass on Marco Island, and is a short boat trip away in the Gulf of Mexico.
