Discover Goodland FloridaGoodland… so close to Marco Island, yet so far! This tiny, charming village is located on the southeast area of Marco…… a total of one square mile of land, surrounded by water! It is believed that the area was originally founded in the early 1500’s, as very old Spanish maps indicate that the area was originally called ‘Good Land’. This area is an inspiration for artists…. You’ll see them sitting along the waterfront, working away with their paint palettes and canvases. You’ll see boats, crab traps and the waterfront....a perfect picture of a laid-back fishing village. ….Oh, and don’t expect a lot of ‘fuss’ in Goodland. There’s no sidewalks and not a lot of ‘frills’ and extras! No high rises, condos, or high-end clothing boutiques…….. not here……. It is what it is. Plain and simple. A unique, eclectic little spot to tour around, browse through the shops, check out the marinas and tackle shops, take some photos, enjoy a cold beer and some great seafood. Do take a day, an afternoon, or just a few hours to check out this rustic, beautiful little spot, when visiting Naples, Marco Is, or Southwest Florida….. for the ‘real flavor’ of old Florida!
Stan’s Idle Hour On Sundays, Stan himself does an outdoor show from 1-6pm….. telling jokes and singing along with a live county band, much to the delight of the crowd!
