Naples, Florida

NAPLES, FLORIDA
QUIKLIST


The city of Naples, Florida, located in the Southwestern part of the Sunshine State, boasts some of the most gorgeous Gulf Coast beaches. Fishing, golfing, and wildlife opportunities are all abundant! Naples also serves as the Western Gateway to the Everglades National Park.

Nearby areas to consider also include:

Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Sanibel Island, Cape Coral, and Fort Myers along the coast.

Everglades City and Ochopee, and maybe even to Miami and Homestead to the East, for exploring the Everglades National Park.
