In this very special episode of Good Morning Marco, Jordan and Ryan have the pleasure of exploring Castaways Park, Marco Island’s newest scenic spot focused on free, accessible fitness for all ages. 🏞️☀️
We kick things off with a shoutout to our sponsor, Kava Culture Marco Island—the island’s only non-alcoholic bar. Mention Good Morning Marco and get 10% off your order! 🍍☕
Then we head into a lighthearted intro (with some Disney Channel blooper energy) before diving into all things Castaways Park:
– Adult-friendly fitness stations like monkey bars, pull-up bars, and step-up platforms 🏋️♂️
– Scenic views, dog-friendly vibes, and a peaceful atmosphere 🐾
– Honest critiques on parking, amenities, and naming choices (RIP Parky McParkface)
– Local insight into The Watermark assisted living facility and past controversies
– Reflections on community health, environmental design, and civic engagement
We also give updates on Marco Island City Council, including the appointment of Rene Champagne, and discuss how Florida’s Sunshine Law complicates casual podcast appearances by council members. ⚖️
Plus, we tease an upcoming episode that’s so big… we had to sign NDAs.
📊 Highlights:
– 11% tree coverage on Marco vs. FL’s 35% avg

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
