🏝️ In a time when peace of mind is priceless, Marco Island is proudly wearing a new badge of honor — Safest City in Florida!

The accolade, announced today by Safewise and featured on Y100, celebrates the island community for its consistently low crime rates, outstanding public safety efforts, and a culture of neighborly care that makes residents feel more like family than strangers.

Nestled in the shimmering Gulf of Mexico, Marco Island has long been known for its postcard-perfect beaches, vibrant sunsets, and small-town charm. Now, it adds another feather to its sandy cap — being the most secure spot to call home in the entire Sunshine State.

“This recognition is a reflection of the entire community — from our police department to our residents, who all play a role in making Marco Island such a special and safe place,” said Marco Island Police Chief Tracy Frazzano. “We believe in proactive policing, community engagement, and watching out for one another. It’s more than policy — it’s our way of life.”

According to the Safewise report, Marco Island scored top marks thanks to its incredibly low violent crime and property crime rates, plus the city’s investment in emergency response, youth programs, and neighborhood watch initiatives.

For longtime residents and newcomers alike, the news is reason to celebrate.

“I walk my dog every night and never worry,” said Angela Martinez, a 62-year-old retiree. “It’s quiet, peaceful, and people here look out for each other. I feel blessed every day to live here.”

With safety locked in and palm trees swaying under the sun, Marco Island proves that paradise isn’t just beautiful — it’s secure, too.

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