’ Naples, Florida


A short stretch of Paradise


Naples, in Southwest Florida, first became popular in the late 19th Century when magazine articles praised the area for its pleasingly sub-tropical climate, pristine beaches and glorious sunsets.


The area was frequently compared to the bay in Naples, Italy and the name stuck.


The Naples of today offers the same rich pleasures but with an added sophistication.


The tourist powers that be have branded Naples, with Marco Island and the Everglades, as the Paradise Coast – with real justification.
