Naples is a city in Collier County in southwest Florida. Naples calls itself the "Golf Capital of the World" with the second-most golf holes per capita and the most holes of any city in Florida. The beach on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico is more than 10 miles (16 km) long and is known for its cleanliness and pristine white sand.

On the river in Downtown Naples: a Naples tradition. Built as a fisherman's wharf (it is still used as such), it is now a large collection of shops (all indoor and air-conditioned) offering a huge array of trinkets, clothing, art, and miscellaneous.
One of the most popular attractions in town, the thousand-foot-long pier was destroyed by Hurricane Ian in 2022. The pier was built in the late 19th century, and has been rebuilt several times, usually taking about three years to complete. No fishing license was required to cast a line from the pier (no fishing on Sundays or overnight). You can still watch the dolphins and take amazing photos of the sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico from the beach.

See Tiger Forest, Panther Glade, and African Oasis. Enjoy exciting wildlife presentations all day and a cruise past islands of monkeys.

Clam Pass boasts 35 acres of coastal habitat and preserves that habitat by providing beach access from a three-quarter-mile boardwalk to the sandy beach. The boardwalk runs through a mangrove forest of salt-tolerant red, white and black mangroves. It also has a tidal bay area that acts as a breeding ground and nursery for marine life, wildlife, and many species of birds. Board-walk through the mangrove trees for those who love a nature walk. If you prefer to take the tram car, that is also available. Upon arrival to the beach there is a full snack bar, lunch restaurant and bar on a deck overlooking the beach.
It combines the best of city chic residential living with upscale shopping, dining and entertainment.
