Naples, FL

Naples, Florida is the southernmost city in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. Its incredible stretch of more than 10 miles of white sandy beaches, numerous world class golf courses and fabulous weather year-round make it a perfect place to visit or to settle down.

Naples is home to several major land reserves, including the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge, and Picayune Strand State Forest.

The Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is known not only for its 11,000 acres (45 km²) of landscape and wildlife, but also for a two and a half mile length boardwalk winding through the sanctuary. If you want to get a real feeling of the area, you must visit one of these natural reserves to see the native birds and wildlife and the lush semi-tropical vegetation.

The Naples area is also the opportunity for shopping! Try the dynamic downtown shops, art galleries and antique stores along Fifth Avenue or Third Street where you can also dine outside anytime during the day and watch the people pass by. Get a taste of the old world charm and waterways at the Village on Venetian Bay which is an upscale open-air shopping district on the Gulf coast. Serious about shopping?. . . Then you must visit the Waterside Shops located directly off of Tamiami Trail. This very elegant upscale open-air center is home to such retailers as Saks Fifth Avenue, Gucci, Tiffany & Co., and many more. . . .

It is no wonder that so many visitors fall in love with Naples, and return to make this area their home, whether in a cozy cottage, pristine estate home, dramatic beach residence or casual resort style community.

We almost forgot to mention the renowned beach sunsets, don’t miss it!
