The Ten Thousand Islands are located near the south end of the Florida peninsula on the Gulf Coast, west of the EvergladesIndian Key Pass - Ten Thousand Islands
The Ten Thousand Islands are a chain of islands and mangrove islets off the coast of southwest Florida, between Cape Romano (at the south end of Marco Island) and the mouth of the Lostmans River. Some of the islands are high spots on a submergent coastline. Others were produced by mangroves growing on oyster bars.[1] Despite the name, the islets in the chain only number in the hundreds.[citation needed]
