Get to Know Naples
Located on the Gulf of Mexico, Naples boasts more than 10 miles of pristine, white beaches. The famous Naples Pier was first built in 1888 and continues to be a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Whether you want to soak up the sun, fish or watch the dolphins, Naples Pier is the perfect location. After you spend the day at the beach, make sure to head to Fifth Avenue or Third Street South for an amazing meal. From seafood to Italian, you will find the perfect menu for your family. Here are some of my favorites.
After your day on the Gulf, it’s time to golf. Naples has more than 80 championship golf courses. Click here to learn more about our beautiful golf courses.
