Parking Guide: Goodland Boat Park

All Ten Thousand Islands shelling boat tours launch from Goodland Boat Park (a stone's throw from Marco Island!), located at:

750 Palm Point Drive, Goodland, FL 34140

🚨 Parking is EXTREMELY limited! 🚨 There are only 23 car parking spaces.

We highly recommend carpooling, taking a taxi/uber, or arranging a drop-off at the park to avoid parking issues.

A general rule of thumb: if the skies are gray or rainy, you’ll have no problem finding a parking spot. But if it’s a gorgeous sunny day, plan to Uber—parking fills up fast on those picture-perfect days!

If you do drive, here are some important tips:

- Arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled launch time to ensure you find parking.

- Parking inside the park is $10 and paid via your phone, no app needed. Your payment covers 24 hours, and you can even pre-pay up to a week in advance.

- I strongly recommend pre-paying because the cell service at Goodland Boat Park is very iffy. Just text the number on the sign or scan the code.
