Florida Beaches are ranked some of the best in the world. In 2005 the Travel Channel ranked Florida beaches All Around Best Beaches including, Key West, Captiva, Sanibel, and of course Naples beach. I recommend heading down Vanderbilt Beach Road. This will lead you to beautiful Vanderbilt beach. With convenient nearby parking, incredible sunsets, and plenty of shells to choose from, this beach will not dissapoint.

Looking for a little culture on your stay? Did you know, Naples is home to over 100 art galleries in Naples. The town has been cited as the #1 Small Art Town in America in John Villani’s book The 100 Best Art Towns in America. Stop in Gardner Colby Galleries, Phil Fisher Gallery, or Up Art & Gallery. If you’re looking to do a little painting yourself then I also recommend Vino’s Picasso, a teacher led, wine fueled painting experience.
