A Blue Moon is one of the sky’s rarest spectacles, appearing only about once every two to three years. Despite its name, it won’t actually appear blue, but its rarity has inspired stories, traditions, and moon-watchers for generations.
This weekend, skip the crowds and discover one of Florida’s best-kept secrets for stargazing. Nestled in the heart of Chokoloskee, Parkway Motel & Marina offers a front-row seat to the night sky, far from the glow of major cities and surrounded by the natural beauty of Everglades country.
Imagine stepping outside your room after sunset. The waters are calm. The air is warm. The stars begin to emerge one by one. Then the Blue Moon rises above the Gulf, casting a silver glow across the marina, mangroves, and island landscape.
Bring your camera. Bring your telescope. Bring someone special. Or simply bring yourself and enjoy a peaceful evening beneath a sky that reminds us how big and beautiful the world truly is.
During your stay, enjoy:
• Exceptional stargazing and moon watching opportunities
• World-class fishing and boating access
• Stunning Everglades sunsets
• Easy access to Everglades National Park adventures
• Quiet island evenings away from traffic and noise
• Fresh local dining at HavAnnA Cafe
For photographers, nature lovers, astronomers, and dreamers alike, this is the perfect weekend to reconnect with the natural world and experience Southwest Florida’s wild beauty under the glow of a rare Blue Moon.
Rooms are available now, but weekends under a Blue Moon don’t come around often.
Book your stay today and discover why the Everglades remain one of Florida’s most magical places after dark.
Blue Moon. Dark Skies. Endless Possibilities.
