The Gulf of Mexico harbors some of Florida’s loveliest cities, one of them being Naples. Well-know in the US for its beautiful golf courses, it also is a welcoming site with the beautiful untarnished sandy beaches. You can go fishing off of The Pier, a well known landmark, or charter a boat for a day of deep sea fishing. Old Naples Seaport and the Marina can provide a charter boat for you, if you choose to spend your time basking in the sun with the beautiful ocean water surrounding you.

There are more than an abundance of little shops and boutiques to suit your fancy in various realms located in Tin City which is a revived rustic maritime city with a quarter of a mile of boardwalk. There is also the Venetian Village and many other shops lining the coast.

An exciting attraction in the midst of all the usual is the Naples Zoo which includes, not only the enjoyment of the animals, but the beautiful botanical gardens exhibit.

If amusement is your ticket, then a venture to Collier State Park will bring you to a different type of park other than roller coasters. For your excitement, you can journey on a swamp buggy ride or air boat rides in the Everglades which is Florida’s famous wetland area where wildlife abounds.

All of this excitement could build up your appetite, and Naples provides you with some of the most beautiful scenic waterfront restaurants with fine cuisine to suit any taste. There are a wide variety of fares including casual and fine dining.

While traveling through Naples, you can get a glimpse of the beautiful lifestyle that the Floridians boast about. There are many multi-family communities and condominiums to choose from to reside at. Some of the most awe-inspiring homes line the waterfront and residents enjoy the luxury of walking out their back door and being able to set sail in their own boats from their own private slips. There are many single family homes, villas and condos to choose from. If vacationing, there are many Florida rentals to select from.

All over the United States, golfers come from far and near to play on some of the most well-known courses. It is claimed that when the first golf course was built, Lindberg used to fly his plane and land on the golf course, itself. Some of the most prominent tournaments are played here with names being dropped such as Jack Niklaus and Arnold Palmer, frequenting the greens. It truly has more golf courses per area than any in the world.

The beauty not only lies in the sandy beaches and the golf course, but Naples is steeped in history and culture. Settled by the Calusa and Seminole Indians and discovered by Ponce de Leon, the city holds some very historic buildings and you can learn more about them in the Collier County Museum which displays some of the old artifacts and culture which existed here centuries ago.

Naples has so much to offer from the old to the new with hustle and bustle or just sheer relaxation in one of the most beautiful cities in Florida.
