Judge S.S. Jolley Bridge

"It’s “Island Time” the minute you cross on to Marco Island, FL! You can ride a bike or walk across this bridge. Free parking on either end where folks fish. Be warned it’s a more strenuous walk than you think. Take a water."

"It is a great place! Not only does this bridge serve as a place to get on and off Marco island, but it's great for fishing to! Not many fish though, but I don't know about your luck! Great for taking your boat, or renting one, and go for a ride. You can park where ever you want as well! And the best part is, every now and then a cop will come by and check to make sure everyone is safe, being responsible and to just watch!"

"Jolly Bridge is the main bridge on and off Marco Island. There is another bridge on the south end of the Island but it is not at all busy. The Jolly Bridge does not have any amenities at all. It just has a few sand car only parking spots to park near the water to fish off the land or walk into the water from the dirt area. Not what I would call a beach, just nice picture opportunities. Not handicap friendly at all. Dogs okay, just pick up after them, again, no amenities even for dogs. You can't camp or sleep overnight, but you can fish off the dirt overnight. No fees for parking. I suggest if you fish you look into the FL laws on fishing off the land in Salt water first. Good luck, enjoy, be safe and clean up after yourself and your pets. PS watch the water tides, you can park too close to the water."

"First time here and it was great. It was very relaxing and my daughters loved all the seashells. Would definitely go back."

"Of course this bridge is one that takes you from one version of paradise to another. If you're so inclined you can walk up on the Marco bound side of the bridge. However at sunrise and sunset on either end of the bridge you can find wonderful photo opportunities underneath and on either side. It's a regular thing to see great blue herons dolphins Pelicans and various other Wildlife visitors. A great photo spot one that I frequent."
