Goodland, FL

Goodland is a tiny, laid-back fishing village located on the southeast corner of Marco Island, right at the edge of the Ten Thousand Islands. Home to roughly 300 residents, the community sits surrounded by quiet bays, tidal creeks, and mangrove channels that shape everyday life. The village carries a unique local history, including historic cottages that were floated over from nearby Caxambas in 1949. Life here naturally revolves around the water, with anglers and kayakers heading out along the Big Marco River, local marinas keeping boats running, and neighbors gathering at MarGood Harbor Park for outdoor events. It offers an easygoing, small-town coastal lifestyle with direct access to some of Southwest Florida’s best fishing and boating waters.
