Naples Vacation Travel Guide

Location: Naples is located south of Fort Myers and north of the Everglades. If you head straight east on Alligator Alley (I-75) across the state, you would hit Fort Lauderdale. Naples is serviced by Southwest Florida International Airport, which is north of Naples.

Attractions: In addition to the fine beaches, top attractions include the Caribbean Gardens, the Naples Nature Center, and Everglades Excursions that depart from Naples. You’ll want to take a boat cruise from Naples Bay to view the beautiful Naples homes and see Florida marine life. The Cocohatchee Nature Center offers nature tours by boat. For cultural activities, Naples has a lot to offer. From the Von Liebig Art Center to the Philharmonic Center for the Arts to the Naples Dinner Theatre, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. Further, Naples is known to have more golf courses per capita than any other city in the world.

Beaches: There are many fine beaches in Naples and plenty of beach-access areas. At the north end of Naples, Barefoot Beach and Vanderbilt Beach are two favorites. At the Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, not only will you find a fine beach, but also concessions, a boat ramp, picnic facilities and water equipment rentals. Located at Naples Municipal Beach, a long-time landmark in Naples is the Naples Pier, known for its sunset view and off-pier fishing. On the pier, you’ll even find a snack bar and bait shop.

Shopping: For fine shopping in downtown Naples, hit Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South. Further north, the Village at Venetian Bay and the Waterside Shops at Pelican Bay are lush outdoor boutique malls. Coastland Center is a typical name brand indoor mall. You may want to do some souvenir shopping at Tin City before or after a Naples Bay boat cruise.

Dining: There are many excellent restaurants in Naples. For a fine steak or seafood dinner, you may want to try Chop’s City Grill. For Caribbean, Tommy Bahama’s Tropical Café and the Yabba Island Grill are both good choices. First Watch offers a great breakfast or lunch at a reasonable price.
