Naples, Florida earned the label of having Travel Channel's best all-around beach in America in 2005, according the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce. The city offers miles of white, sandy shores, eclectic shopping, fine and casual dining and oceanfront resorts.
The city of Naples on Florida's west coast offers the best of both worlds: Gulf Coast beaches on its western doorstep and the freshwaters of Big Cypress National Preserve to its east. Everglades National Park isn't far away, to the Naples' south.
Naples, Florida resort accommodations cluster around beach-accessible locations. Mid-level motels, such as the Holiday Inn, offer in-town options. Upscale, oceanfront hotels include the Ritz-Carlton and Waterstone Resort with its condominium-style rooms.
Shop at Fifth Avenue South or Third Street South, where you'll also find eclectic art galleries, and Waterside Shops or Coastland Center Mall. For outdoor activities, go golfing, fishing, wildlife viewing and boating. Swamp Buggy Races are held three times a year at the Naples Sports Park.
The city of Naples has the most golf holes per capita in the nation, according to the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce.
