The stretch of Collier Boulevard south of the roundabout goes through a real personality change in July. The parking lot at 480 South Collier sits empty. Turtle stakes appear in the dune line. Boats trailer past the guard gate a little less often. If you live in Cape Marco, you already feel the shift. What follows is the working map of a south-end summer, which is quieter than season but is not, as some of the newer residents assume, closed.
Sale e Pepe Is Dark. The Marriott Is Not.
The most useful thing to know about July dining at the south tip is that your closest fine-dining anchor is on hiatus.
