NAPLES
Coastal Luxe & Walkable Attractions
You won’t find a prettier coastal city on the Gulf of America. At its heart lies a polished but laid-back downtown with world-class dining, sophisticated shopping, art galleries, theaters and boutique hotels. Steps away is a coconut palm-lined beach where the Gulf’s calm, blue waters lap at powdery sand. It’s culture and nature in perfect harmony.


MARCO ISLAND
A Beach Community With a Wild Side
The largest and most famous of the Ten Thousand Islands, this upscale beach destination is surrounded by turquoise waters where dolphins play and seabirds dive. With its alabaster sands and understated luxury, Marco Island might make you feel like you’re island-hopping in the Caribbean.


EVERGLADES CITY
Lush Spaces & Offbeat Places
Explore the vast expanse of wild, untouched wetlands that makes up the Florida Everglades. The Gulf Coast’s gateway to Everglades National Park, Everglades City and neighboring Chokoloskee Island are often called Florida’s Last Frontier. The area is also known as the “Stone Crab Capital of the World” thanks to its renowned stone crab fishing fleet.


IMMOKALEE & AVE MARIA
