The Marco Island baby bodysuit, for the town that rises from a thousand years of shells. Soft fine jersey with the Marco Island vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Marco Island piece most often bought for someone else.

A soft, breathable infant bodysuit in light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey. Ribbed binding and side seams add durability, and the secure snap crotch makes changes easy. Solids are 100% combed ringspun cotton; heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

The Calusa built shell mounds here for centuries, Indian Hill among them at fifty-one feet, and in 1896 the Smithsonian’s Pepper-Hearst Expedition under Frank Hamilton Cushing pulled the six-inch carved-wood Key Marco Cat from the muck, one of the finest Pre-Columbian finds in North America. William Collier founded the village of Marco in 1870.

Clam and oyster canneries ran at Caxambas Pass from 1903 to 1947, the first bridge came in 1938, and Deltona opened the modern island in 1965. The largest of the Ten Thousand Islands, it has a six-mile crescent of sugar-white sand, among the widest beaches in Florida and some of the best shelling. That shell-strewn shore is the mark on this piece.

More From Marco Island Florida

All Marco Island Florida Items

The Cat was made by the Calusa, the people who built this island as much as lived on it. The “Shell Indians” ruled the southwest Gulf coast for more than a thousand years — a fishing people so rich in the water that they never needed to farm. They piled their discarded shells into mounds, and those mounds became the island’s high ground: Indian Hill, built of shell, still stands fifty-one feet above the sea — the highest point in all of southwest Florida. To walk Marco’s older rises is to walk on a thousand years of oyster and whelk.

What the brochures promised, the island delivered: a six-mile crescent of sugar-white sand, among the widest beaches in Florida, with shelling good enough to draw collectors from around the world. Marco is the largest of the Ten Thousand Islands — the maze of mangrove keys where the Gulf meets the Everglades — and the gateway to all of it: boat trips out through the islands, dolphins and roseate spoonbills, and the warm, shallow, almost-waveless water that makes the place feel like a long, lazy float.

Why People Visit Marco Island

Marco Island rewards visitors who want wide white sand, warm shallow water, and shells underfoot, with a rare depth of history close by. Add the boat trips into the Ten Thousand Islands and the year-round Gulf sun, and the case makes itself.
