Naples was established shortly after the Civil War as a
seaside retreat,
with homes lining
the sparkling Gulf
of Mexico beaches
and a hotel for
guests seeking a
winter oasis for
relaxation, fishing,
hunting, golf and
other leisurely
pursuits.
In recent years the
town has grown
rapidly due to its
natural beauty, mild
weather and
reputation as a
favorite getaway for
the rich and famous.
Today, boutiques and
art galleries line
Fifth Avenue South,
Naples Downtown
Mainstreet. Just a

provides even more
elegant shopping and
dining. Beachside
resorts, as well as
numerous hotels
throughout the
Greater Naples area,
provide a wide
variety of choice
for accommodation,
from five star
elegance to value
priced properties.
Many anglers flock
to Naples for
legendary fishing
for tarpon, snook
and redfish in the
backcountry and
grouper and snapper
in the Gulf.
Watersports
enthusiasts find all
kinds of exciting
action along the
coastline. Once
you've tasted the
charms of this
beautiful and
vibrant city, you'll
be sure to visit
Naples again and
