Naples
sits directly on the Gulf of Mexico in South West Florida and borders the Everglades to the East. Located in the tropics, and not far from the 10,000 islands, we enjoy a beautiful climate and some of the best beaches in the nation. In fact, the beach at Naples Pier was showcased on the Travel Channel as one of the best beaches in the U.S. for 2005.
Whatever your Real Estate need is; it's bound to be filled in Naples. Naples was included in the Florida Top 10 list of communities for kids! If you're looking for a golf course property, Naples has more than 90 courses, giving us more "holes" per capita than any other city in the United States! Tiburon, (a gated community home to our second Ritz Carlton) host's this year's Golf Magazine Dream Home. Tiburon might sound familiar to some as the nationally televised charity event the Franklin Templeton Shootout, is played here.
Prestigous
5th Avenue South and
3rd Street South located in the heart of
Olde Naples offers fine dining, shopping, the arts and nightlife. The second Thursday of each month (usually) is the Evening on 5th, and generally on Third St, every third Thursday the same happens
: the street closes in anticipation of performers and musicians with some shops staying open late. And, every Saturday 3rd St hosts a farmers market too!
Just a few attractions in the area are the Naples Zoo (also known as Caribbean Gardens), Conservancy Nature Center and be sure to take a tour at Wootens Air Boat Tours. If shopping is more your thing, visit the newly renovated Waterside Shops, featuring luxurious brand name retailers as well as boutiques and visit the Village on Venetian Bay for shopping with a water view! Or, for the nature lover take a drive out to the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. You can also visit my Naples page for a restaurant guide, important phone numbers and nightlife ideas.
