Food scene
The Oyster Society
599 S Collier BlvdThe food is good not great but the water view is great! You can watch the boats pass by as you eat. The salad bar is very good in my opinion. If you want to eat outside go early and be prepared to wait.

I think the food is marginal, but if you are in the mood for Mexican it is nice to eat out on the patio and enjoy a margarita by the fountain.

Greater Marco Family YMCA
101 Sand Hill StGorgeous beach with a wildlife sanctuary. Very large public parking lot with a snack bar and public facilities. You can take a shortcut through the lagoon to access beach but suggest you go at low tide. You can also walk around the beach. Follow the handicap signs. It is a very long walk but worth it.

there are public facilities at this beach but the public parking lot is small and fills up very quickly. There is another lot on Collier called Turtle Parking Lot with an access right across 7-11
