Welcome to River Area
There are two areas on the Marco River. River West is the area near and along the Marco River, west of the Jolley Bridge, and River East, east of the Jolley Bridge. The water in the River West area is typically deeper, and it may allow for a boat with a deeper draft, which is why this area has seen such growth. This section of the river is not in a “no-wake” zone like many areas on Marco, which makes it one of the quickest ways by boat to the Gulf and to Naples.
This is a real draw for avid boaters. The water typically gets shallower the further east from the Jolley Bridge, which is the reason this area, East of the Jolley Bridge, has a “no-wake” zone; It may take a bit longer to navigate than the area west of the Jolley Bridge. The water lots in the River Area are highly sought after. Many buyers are tearing down the original Deltona homes and are replacing them with large, new construction homes. This is the reason you will see very large homes among some small, original Deltona homes. The closer you are to the Jolley Bridge, the quicker you are on and off the island by car. Nearby restaurants are in the Marco Town Center. It is approximately two to three miles to the beach.
