Life in Naples, Florida

Whether you have a passion for golf, fishing, shelling, shopping, bird watching, wildlife viewing, boating, the beach or the arts, you’ll find plenty of choices in the Naples area. Blessed with a mild winter climate and a summer tempered by Gulf breezes, Naples has grown from a sleepy Florida town in the 1970's to a sophisticated city in the 21st century.

Although upscale shopping and dining opportunities abound in Greater Naples, the Everglades, the Corkscrew Swamp, unspoiled beaches, and a myriad of offshore islands keep our town grounded in a simpler past. You can begin your day with breakfast at the Ritz, then look for just the right bracelet or timepiece at one of our upscale jewelers before heading to the Everglades for an airboat ride among alligators and egrets - and then ending the day at a charming bistro on 5th Avenue in the heart of downtown Naples.

Midwestern in feel, Naples is as welcoming and friendly to visitors and new residents as if you were in Ohio or Indiana. In fact, with all the sunshine and warm weather, we are may be even more friendly than the folks up North.
