Naples is on the Gulf of Mexico, a paradise of sun, shore and nature harmoniously blended with the cosmopolitan and cultural center this city has become. Despite its metropolitan population and myriad housing developments, Naples remembers its Indian and early pioneering heritage. This diversity combined with its host of attractions, amenities and activities make Naples a great place to live and visit.
Naples is often called the Palm Beach of west Florida, with its million dollar mansions and old money charm. Nowhere is this more apparent than the Fifth Avenue district downtown. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, a stroll down the Avenue will introduce you to sophisticated shops, bustling bistros, sidewalk cafes and many of Naples' finest restaurants.
The Inn on Fifth [699 5th Avenue South]. You also can’t beat its unique history. Originally built as a bank, the building has been transformed into an elegant boutique hotel, with a lot of the original design elements remaining. From the marble entryway to the wrought iron railings, you’ll feel an old world ambiance. But the hotel isn’t without its modern touches, from the oversized elevator to the new $1.5 million renovated rooftop pool, complete with cascading waterfalls. The rooms facing the street are particularly nice in the early evening when you can sit outside and listen to Fifth Avenue come alive for the evening.
With over 35 golf courses, Naples has the highest ratio of golf courses to golfers in the USA. But tennis enthusiasts find equally high standards of play here, while water lovers discover pristine white beaches of unsurpassed tropical beauty, complete with splendid shells and a full array of sea sports.
The fishing is great, even at The Pier, Naples' classic landmark, where fish abound in the translucent water for the pleasure of dolphins, pelicans and humans alike. Or simply come stroll along the beach or pier for a panoramic view of the sunset.
Much of Naples' activities are naturally centered on the water, with year-round sailing, boating, jet skiing and windsurfing. Fishing for grouper, pompano, cobia and sea trout never ceases either, but in the spring and early summer, tarpon becomes the big catch.
Shopping in Naples is another treat in store, with a spectacular selection of fashionable centers and plazas to choose from. From small boutiques and shops at Crayton Cove, Third Street, Fifth Avenue South, Tin City, and Venetian Village to the large chain and department stores at Coastland Center Mall and Waterside Shops, you can find just about anything in Naples.
