The best way to understand Naples is to appreciate its natural beauty. Situated on the Gulf of Mexico, Naples is a boater's paradise. One can explore the miles of backwater and mangrove forests that line our pristine waterways. The beach is one of the finest in the country, and the calm waters of the Gulf seem to lull you into a deep sense of peace and relaxation.
The wildlife is abundant, from our native brown pelican to the proud bald eagle; a bird lover will never tire here. Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary is home to the National Audubon Society, where they have set up permanent shop on a one mile boardwalk through a portion of the Everglades. |

If you enjoy golf, then Naples is a great place for you to test your skills. With more than 100 of the finest courses in the country, the greater Naples area has few rivals as a major golf capital. The shopping is world-class with prominent names like Saks Fifth Avenue, Pottery Barn and Williams & Sonoma anchoring the Waterside Shops, a truly beautiful waterscaped outdoor pavilion.

Entertainment starts with the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts, home to its own outstanding orchestra. Broadway shows and top performers regularly play this 1400 seat, modern theater. Attached to the Hall is the new Naples Museum of Art. On 5th Ave, the Sugden Theater hosts the Naples Players, who perform amateur theater throughout the year.
One attraction that should be on every family's agenda who visits Naples is the Zoo at Caribbean Gardens, a 52 acre park which is home for fascinating wildlife and botanical wonders.
Dining out is an adventure in Naples . There are so many different choices that you could eat out every night for six months and still not experience them all! Of course the best restaurant in town is right on the grounds of the Vanderbilt Beach Resort. The Turtle Club has become "the place" to enjoy the best fresh seafood and steaks while surrounded by the beauty of the Resort and its beachfront location. It is the ideal spot to experience our famous sunsets. |
