It is home to the Everglades National Park as well as some one of America's top beaches. During summer months temperatures can reach into the high 90's but can dip quite dramatically during the winter months, therefore a summer break is definitely recommended if it is sun that you are after.
Due to the town's young age there are few 'tourist attractions' but the numerous shops, restaurants, beaches, and nearby areas are sure to prove popular with visitors.
Torrential rain storms are extremely common, but have little effect on the temperature and usually clear extremely quickly. It is advisable to check recent weather conditions before you book a trip and ensure that you know when the hurricane season is and whether any severe storms are predicted.
In the several visits which I have made to Naples it has been an area in which you are able to see some of Floridas notorious wildlife in their natural environments. Alligators are common in the Everglades area, and keep an eye out for dolphins in the Gulf.
Sunsets with great clarity and strong colours are common of the area, and regularly attract people to the beach to watch. The large wooden pier is also an ideal vantage point for these glorious sunsets.
Many large outlet malls surround Naples and are a haven for the keen shopper. The Coastland Center in Naples is one of our favourites, with stores such as JCPenny and Macy's. Restaurants in the area are plentiful and are often situated along the main roads.
Fortunately Naples is not yet overrun with tourists but manages to cater well for the industry. Many Americans choose to take their own holidays in this area as it is an ideal relaxing destination.
The town is relatively easy to access. It is situated along US Highway 41, is under 2 hours drive from Miami International Airport, and has a small local airport catering for domestic flights. Whilst in Naples, similarly to much of the USA, it is easiest to travel by car, however buses are available, as is a small trolleybus service which runs near to the beach.
