In an age where peace of mind is priceless, Marco Island is proudly donning a new title — Safest City in Florida!

This honor, announced today by Safewise and spotlighted on Y100, celebrates the island community’s impressively low crime rates, dedicated public safety efforts, and a neighborly spirit that makes residents feel more like family than strangers.

Nestled along the sparkling Gulf of Mexico, Marco Island has long been famous for its stunning beaches, breathtaking sunsets, and charming small-town vibe. Now, it adds another jewel to its crown — the safest place to call home in the entire Sunshine State.

“This recognition reflects the hard work of everyone — from our police officers to our residents,” said Marco Island Police Chief Tracy Frazzano. “We focus on proactive policing, community involvement, and looking out for each other. It’s not just policy; it’s how we live.”

The Safewise report highlights Marco Island’s top scores thanks to its exceptionally low violent and property crime rates, alongside strong investments in emergency response, youth programs, and neighborhood watch efforts.

For longtime locals and newcomers alike, it’s cause for celebration.

“I walk my dog every evening without a worry,” said retiree Angela Martinez, 62. “It’s peaceful here, and people genuinely look out for one another. I feel lucky every day to call this place home.”

With safety secured and palm trees swaying, Marco Island proves paradise isn’t just stunning — it’s safe, too.

So whether you’re visiting, moving, or just dreaming, remember this: Marco Island isn’t just Florida’s hidden gem — it’s also its safest one. 🌴💙
