A final spot that is not offically designated as a beach but is frequently used by local Marco Islanders is the area adjacent to the Judge Jolley Bridge. The bridge crosses over Marco River and is the primary entry to Marco Island via Collier Boulevard (County Road 951). Both sides of the bridge offer water access, and although most of the waterfront is very rocky, the area bordering the Marco Island Yacht Club has a sandy stretch of beach that is often used for wading, swimming and launching canoes or kayaks.
