Top Attractions for…
Beach Bums
With its world-famous sugar sand beaches and emerald waters, Naples is a premier destination for ocean lovers. Start your day with a visit to the iconic Naples Pier, where you can rent fishing gear or simply stroll the planks while watching seabirds and dolphins frolic in the surf. Then stake out a spot on the powdery white quartz at beaches like Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park or Clam Pass Park. When you’ve had your fill of sun and vitamin sea, grab a slice from Campiello and watch a dazzling Gulf sunset.
Wildlife Enthusiasts
Don’t miss your chance to explore the lush wetlands of the Florida Everglades during your Naples adventure. Rent a canoe or kayak to paddle along marshes lined with mangroves, towering cypress trees dripping with air plants, and populated by flocks of wading birds. With a bit of luck, you may even spot Florida panthers, black bears, or American alligators! For a more curated eco experience, book an airboat tour and let an expert guide introduce you to this unspoiled subtropical wilderness.
Art Aficionados
While lounging in the tropical paradise of Naples, immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant arts scene too. The Baker Museum houses an impressive collection of modern and contemporary works, including the iconic sculpture series “The Nine Muses” by celebrated Greek artist Natalie Kostoyris. Get your fill of local artistry by strolling the outdoor sculptures and murals lining the streets of the historic Naples Art District on the first Friday evening of each month.
History Buffs
Dig into the unique heritage of Florida’s Paradise Coast at museums like the Naples Depot Museum, home to a restored 1920s-era Seaboard Air Line Railway station. Take a ranger-guided tour of the Everglades Wonder Gardens, established by a collective of Seminole Indians, Naturalists, and Botanists in 1936. Or pay a visit to the Collier County Museums to glimpse archaeological treasures of the region’s indigenous Calusa tribe. For a taste of Old Naples, stroll the brick-lined avenues of the Third Street South neighborhood, lined with open-air courtyards and iconic boutiques.
Culinary Connoisseurs
With an abundance of fresh Gulf seafood and tropical produce, Naples is a delicious destination for foodies. Start your day with a Cuban breakfast at Food & Thought, serving classics like croquetas de jamón and café con leche. For lunch, snag a table at swanky Campiello for homemade pasta and fruity bellinis. As the evening breeze rolls in, head to The Bay House Restaurant for “Floribbean” fusion cuisine and stunning sunset views across the Corkscrew Estuary.
Shopping Mavens
No trip to Naples is complete without at least one shopping excursion. Hit the high-end boutiques and art galleries of the Village on Venetian Bay for designer labels, locally crafted goods, and over-the-top window displays. The Third Street South Historic District offers an eclectic mix of fashion, home decor, and antiques housed in pastel-hued Mediterranean revival buildings. Or take a day trip 30 minutes north to the sophisticated shopping mecca of Miromar Outlets, home to 200+ brand name and designer stores.
How to Get Around Naples
Public Transportation
While Naples does have a public transit system operated by Collier Area Transit, the routes and schedules are fairly limited – especially for tourists hoping to see all the top attractions. The CAT buses mainly service major roads like US-41 and Immokalee Road with routes running between shopping centers and residential areas. Unless you plan to stick to downtown’s quaint avenues, public transit probably isn’t your best option for getting around Naples.
Taxis and Rideshares
With ample taxi companies and rideshare options like Uber and Lyft operating in Naples, you could always go the individual transportation route. But keep in mind – if you’re traveling with a larger group, splitting up into multiple vehicles gets hectic fast. You’ll not only have to divvy up costs but also coordinate pick-up and drop-off logistics, which can suck up valuable vacation time. Plus, good luck fitting all those beach towels and shopping bags into a compact sedan!
