Grilling on the lanai: our favorite Marco Island dinner

· Travis & Jaime

Gas grill and covered lanai beside the pool at Pirates Cove Marco Island
One of our favorite things to do when we are in Marco is to BBQ salmon pinwheels stuffed with crab, from Publix, with a side of asparagus.

Dinner two minutes from Publix

Publix is a two-minute drive. Their seafood counter does crab-stuffed salmon pinwheels, which take about twelve minutes on the grill with asparagus alongside.

It has become our standing first-night dinner, and it beats waiting for a table on your travel day.

The outdoor kitchen setup

The covered lanai has a gas grill, shaded seating and an outdoor dining table, all under screen beside the heated saltwater pool.

The kitchen inside is fully stocked, so you can prep in air conditioning and cook out by the water.

Eating in on Marco Island

Cooking a few nights in is a real saving on a week-long trip, and the sunset from the pool deck is a better view than most restaurants have.
