EXPANSIVE COOPERATION

Perfecting the ultimate soft backlight on South Beach

Marco Island offers some of the widest quartz beaches in Florida, notably around Tigertail sandy bar loops. Because the sand is so expansive and flat, it behaves like an enormous, soft studio bounce. The sun sets directly over the ocean water, creating pristine silhouette opportunities and soft pink skyline gradients.

Many coordinates here are ideal for groups with up to 30 members. There is ample room to run, loop around, walk barefoot, and share spontaneous laughter with Frank Simonetti, an experienced Photographer.

Senior friendly shoreline walking

Unlike wild barrier beaches with heavy tree root debris, South Marco offers flat, sturdy shoreline footing. Grandparents and toddlers can walk barefoot safely, making it a comfortable experience for all generations.

Family and Elopement Photographer with over 25 years Experience

One of the most unique geographic beaches in the country. A shallow lagoon path leads directly onto flat, expansive sugar sandbars that stretch into the horizon.
