Located on Florida’s western coast, Naples capitalizes on the Gulf of Mexico’s white beaches and subtle subtropical breezes. Take the kids shell hunting or check out the boating and fishing excursions from the 1,000-foot-long Naples Fishing Pier.

But there’s a lot more to Naples than its beachfront. Visit nearby Corkscrew Swamp Wildlife Preserve to see Florida’s native flowers and plants. You might just see two other Florida natives at Corkscrew - alligators and bald eagles.
