Things To Do in Naples

The jewel of southwest Florida, Naples is a small resort city that offers visitors everything from beach-side luxury to family-friendly vacation fun times in a range of Naples tours and activities that deliver something for everyone. Cool Naples is your guide to spectacular Naples Florida, where you will find miles of white-sand Gulf of Mexico beaches, high-end resorts, sophisticated shopping and dining, and championship golf courses just a few minutes from the unspoiled natural beauty of the Florida Everglades.

The city of Naples was founded as a vacation destination in 1886, and the mild climate, pristine sugar-sand beaches, and world-class golf and sportfishing are just some of many Naples attractions that have been drawing visitors from northern states since that time. First linked to Miami by by US Highway 90—the Tamiami Trail—in 1928 and now connected directly to Fort Lauderdale by Interstate 75, Naples has also long been the Gulf Coast get-away spot for residents of urban southeast Florida. A golf mecca, with the most holes of any Florida city, Naples is also a gateway to natural wonder in the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Everglades National Park, the world’s largest wetlands wilderness.

Naples and the resort community of Marco Island just to the south make up the heart of Florida’s Paradise Coast, a nickname that refers to the area's miles of white sand beaches, sparkling blue Gulf waters, lush wilderness areas, and endless variety of entertaining diversions. Whether you are looking for eclectic shopping and gallery hopping in a lovely historic downtown, top-flight dining in a classic waterfront or elegant resort hotel setting, or just a lot of fun in the sun and on the water, it is all here in Naples. Collect seashells on a deserted island in the morning, scoot around town on a Segway in the afternoon, then toast a perfect day on a champagne sunset cruise—Naples has it all and Cool Naples is your local connection.

Our Florida travel experts have organized the best things to do in Naples from downtown Naples attractions and activities to Everglades airboat tours and famous Naples sportfishing trips. Detailed descriptions and information, interesting photos, genuine customer reviews, and fast, secure online booking make Cool Naples your ultimate Naples concierge service. Local knowledge helps us independently select the best Naples visitor activities, and technical expertise lets the Cool Naples team put everything right here in a convenient online storefront where you can build the perfect Naples itinerary with confidence and ease.

Naples Attractions

It’s difficult to know where to begin with Naples attractions, but year-round good weather and 30 miles of white-sand beach are as good a place to start as any. The beach is the prime attraction in Naples, and it is easy to find your place in the sun here. Try Clam Pass Park or Lowdermilk Park in North Naples. Naples Beach and the historic Naples Pier are right in downtown Naples. Or head south to the beaches of Marco Island, the jump-off point for dolphin-watching expeditions and kayak tours in the Ten Thousand Islands reserve.

You can explore the charming Naples downtown by bike or scooter to shop, visit the farmer’s market, or search out a great seafood lunch. Catch a sightseeing cruise or fishing charter out of the Naples City Dock, the historic heart of the city. The downtown is also known for up-market dining, craft breweries, and high-end boutiques along with many art galleries and other cultural interest points. There are museums to immerse you in the history of the region’s First Peoples as well as the wealthy northern vacationers who came later. For more history, travel a few miles west to the agricultural town of Immokalee, home of the Pioneer Museum and a casino resort operated by the Seminole tribe.

Beyond the urban amenities, Naples is surrounded by nature reserves like the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Big Cypress National Reserve, and of course the Everglades. Dolphins, manatees, incredible bird life, mangrove wilderness, deserted barrier islands and much more await in the natural world just a few miles from Naples. Paddle a kayak through mysterious mangrove tunnels or venture into the Western Everglades to hike among the pines and palmettos before venturing out aboard a thrilling airboat to spot alligators, turtles, wading birds, and many other plant and animal species native to the wet wilderness.

Recommendations: The Best Things to Do in Naples

If you love water and the outdoors, exploring the Ten Thousand Islands is a must. Take a relaxing boat ride or paddle your own kayak on an adventure that can include dolphin watching, shell hunting on uninhabited islands, bird watching and more. Explore the unusual dome houses, a visionary but ultimately failed resort project in the waters off Cape Romano. Search the inlets and estuaries for the gentle manatee and be on the lookout for bird and animal species found nowhere else. There are many options for an unforgettable Ten Thousand Islands eco-adventure and the choice is up to you.

Swamp tours are another unique local highlight. The Everglades ecosystem is the planet’s largest remaining wetland wilderness, and no trip to Southern Florida is complete without a swamp safari. A 2.25-mile boardwalk meanders through the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, making it safe and easy to enter a world of exotic tropical plants and the natural home of hundreds of rare bird species, the American alligator, white-tailed deer, otters, and many other animals. Add in an airboat ride to penetrate deep into the sawgrass marshes and thrill to the exciting speed of the unique watercraft designed specifically for exploring shallow wetland wilderness areas like Everglades National Park.

Fishing is a Naples specialty, and the sportfishing opportunities found in the local bays and offshore in the deeper Gulf waters are unmatched anywhere. Thousands of visiting fishermen arrive every year to pursue the giant Tarpon, hard-fighting Snook, and Redfish in the bays, the freshwater species like Bass that thrive in the lakes, and the many gamefish found offshore in the Gulf. From deep-sea trophy hunts to calm-water family fun outings, Naples fishing is great and a day on the water is an excellent addition to any vacation.
