 Naples Vacation Highlights

The Naples beaches are amongst the best in Florida. The familiar beachfront vistas of hotels and condominiums does not happen here and the clean, white sand has been attracting locals and visitors for generations. 

Windsurfers, wave runners, skim boards, snorkeling gear and hobie cats are all much in evidence, providing great fun and entertainment for visitors.

It almost goes without saying that there is golf, lots and lots of golf. 

The Naples area has some of the finest courses in the USA which offer a great break from the sun and sand of the beaches. Culture and the arts are very popular with over 100 art galleries plus the renowned Naples Museum of Art and Philharmonic Center for the Arts.

The Naples Museum of Art was the first full-scale art museum in Southwest Florida. It features an impressive array of 15 different galleries that highlight paintings, sculptures and drawings.

Everyone gets to handle some of the animals and reptiles at Caribbean Gardens, the only zoo in Florida to have Indo-chinese tigers plus African big cats and frican hyenas. The zoo has boat rides, primate islands, flora displays plus kangaroos, alligators and pythons.

The Gordon River and Naples Bay south to the Gulf are great for sightseeing cruises, dolphin-watching, and sunset cruises. The locals like to fish from the Naples Pier, but always with an eye on the local pelicans. Volleyball players train and compete in Lowdermilk Park in front of Millionaires Row. 

There are 6 miles (9 km) of canoe and kayak trails in Clam Pass County Park, a miniature wilderness that is home to multitudes of Florida bird species, an occasional alligator and other Florida wildlife.

The Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park has been listed among America's top 10 beaches. Fish viewing is possible on a small reef in about 12 feet (3.5 m) of water and about 150 feet (45 m) offshore.

The Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary has raised boardwalk of just over 2 miles long that introduces visitors to this 11,000 acres of native swamp, forest and all of its unique inhabitants.
