3 experiences not to miss...
Legendary Sunsets...
It's hard to a describe a Naples sunset, but here's a few words that come
to mind: breathtaking, awe-inspiring, otherworldly. Grab a camera to
capture Mother Nature's nightly display of color at one of the city's best
sunset-watching spots, or just sit back and watch as deep oranges and
pinks dance across the sky. Our favorite way to watch the sun go down
is with a drink in hand at The Naples Beach & Golf Hotel.

Upscale, Downtown...
They're chic. They're swanky. They're the upscale downtown districts
of Naples. Reminiscent of iconic California beach towns, these luxury-
laden neighborhoods boast world-class shopping and top-of-the-line
style. Experience a day in the life of the rich and famous by popping
into the boutiques on 5th Avenue and 3rd Street South, then drive
immediately south for a tour of Port Royal's mansions.

Barefoot Beach...
Voted #2 beach in the USA, this 342-acre preserve boasts picturesque
shorelines and a diverse population of animal species, including the
land-dwelling gopher tortoise and a variety of sea turtles. After dipping
your toes in the crystal blue waters, we recommend getting up close
and personal with wildlife on nature trails and canoe tours through the
estuary waters.

Our 3 hidden gems...
Corkscrew Sanctuary...
Just 30 minutes east of Naples
is a rugged wonderland off
Corkscrew's famed boardwalk
where white-tailed deer frolic,
alligators slide through the mud
and otters play in the marsh.
Venture 2.5 miles through pine
flatwoods and wet prairie to the
largest old growth Bald Cypress
forest in North America. No
nature lover should skip it.
Cayo Costa...
Accessible only by private boat
or ferry, camping at Cayo Costa
is only for the true adventurer at
heart. Catch sight of hundreds of
bird species and, if you're lucky,
a pod of dolphin or manatees
as you traverse the nature trails
through oak-palms, pines and
mangroves. Be sure to bring your
snorkeling and fishing gear to
this paradise off the beaten path.
The Bay House...
The Bay House serves up
shellfish towers, cold water
lobster and a heaping selection
of mouthwatering seafood in
upscale digs with floor-to-ceiling
views of the Cochatchee River.
Check out the live entertainment
schedule for a night out at the
adjoining Claw Bar, where you
can boogie after having your fill
of fresh shellfish dishes.
