Welcome To Naples
Naples is the preeminent Southwest Florida address. A rare union of Old Florida charm, cosmopolitan riches, and sun-soaked natural wonders come together here along the Gulf of Mexico, offering an array of lifestyle opportunities few locales in Florida or anywhere else can equal. When you make Naples home, you open doors to the very best life has to offer.
Beaches, Beaches, and More Beaches
There’s a reason they call this stretch of Southwest Florida “The Paradise Coast”. With nearly 9 miles of pristine shoreline rimmed with white sand cascading gently to perpetually calm Gulf Coast waters, this is a beach lover’s dream. Whether it’s a stroll along the sands of Naples Beach, watching the sunset from the iconic Naples Pier, shelling on Barefoot Beach, or ferrying over to the untouched sands of Keewaydin Island, beach-day options run the gamut in Naples.
Fifth Avenue and Third Street South
Fashion is most definitely forward in Naples, with legendary shopping streets to rival any major city. Fifth Avenue South stretches from the Tamiami Trail to the Gulf of Mexico and is home to an eclectic mix of designer shops, couture boutiques, jewelers, home décor and artful finds. Venture to Third Street South and the fun continues with high-end options nestled in a landscape of fountains and gardens. Fine swimwear, lingerie, shoes, accessories, and galleries galore are found along Third Street South. Both streets present a host of curbside cafes and fine restaurants, should you need a shopping re-fuel.
The Freshest Takes on Dining
Foodies thrive in Naples, where local restaurateurs have created a culinary community of all shapes, sizes, and signature flavors. Whether it’s the ever-changing locally sourced menu at The Local, watching fishermen haul the day’s catch directly into the kitchen at City Seafood in nearby Everglades City, or picking through the organic yummies at Food & Thought, both a general store and favorite local eatery, Naples is a land where dining can take you from five stars to beach bars in a matter of steps.
Southwest Florida’s Golfing Capital
There are more than 80 golf courses in and around Naples, from public gems to private clubs. In fact, Florida’s Paradise Coast has more golf courses per capita than any other destination in the United States. So, if you like to tee it up, you’ve found the perfect home.
Southwest Florida’s Cultural Capital

From stellar performances at the famed Gulfshore Playhouse, one of the nation’s premier regional theaters, to more than 220 annual performances hosted by The Naples Players Sudgen Theatre on Fifth Avenue South, there’s never a shortage of great shows to be had in Naples.
