About Goodland, Florida: Located just outside of Marco Island, Goodland is an eclectic fishing community full of food and funky fun. Dine on freshly caught seafood as you watch the fish, shrimp, and world-famous stone crab arrive directly from the gulf. Johnny Roberts is believed to have founded Goodland in the late 1800’s. He named it Goodland Point because it featured a 40-acre shell mound left by the Calusa Indians that was ideal for growing fruit and vegetables. Goodland’s isolation remained virtually intact until 1938 when the main road was completed. Just like in the good old days, Goodland offers visitors a laid-back charm unlike any other place in South Florida. Visitors enjoy a simple stillness, a community frozen in time that plays host to plenty of laid back activities including outdoor music, drinks, and dancing.
