Hi guys! I hope you are having an amazing week. This is my 5th time going to Naples for vacation, which obviously means I love it there. Naples, Florida reminds me a lot of a North Carolina beach town, with all the charm and relaxation you could ever dream of. If you are looking for a place to really unwind, Naples is for you. There is not an extensive list of touristy activities to do, which is what makes this place so peaceful. Check out my photo gallery below if you would like, plus more at my Instagram: @toristrails
1. The Naples Zoo: Such a cute place to go on a nice summer day. The tickets are 22$, if you buy them online they are 21$. It is a little pricey for me, then again, anything over 10 dollars is expensive to me. This place gives you a super intimate interaction with the animals, as you get to see them up close and personal. The zoo has never been packed like some of the zoos here in Miami. Definitely a nice date with yourself or your family.
2. Naples Pier: Must see!!! Naples has one of the prettiest sunsets I have EVER seen. If you want to see the sky go from a bright golden color to a cotton candy sky, please check this place out around sunset. Naples Pier is where you get to see the entire community and it's tourists come out to enjoy nature altogether. You have to pay a dollar or two for parking, but it is definitely worth it. Especially after a long day at the pool or beach, cuddled up to someone you love. GO!!!!!! Another great place for sunsets is Vanderbilt Beach, parking is hard to find but WORTH IT.
3. 5th Ave: 5th Avenue is the cutest little down town in Florida. With quaint shops that sell seashells or other small business, you will have a sweet downtown experience. Plus, theres loads of restaurants all along 5th Avenue, and some more on 3rd Avenue, too. Enjoy
4.Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve: FREE! If you like nature hikes and have not been to what real Florida used to look like 50 years ago, check this place out. One of my favorite outdoor activities in Naples. Plus, they have a little nature museums that include animals. A fun place to check out and see what educational free stuff Naples has to offer.
5. Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary: Another free place to explore Naples wildlife. I walked the entire trail here and it was amazing. I got to see a few alligators, a spider the size of my face, and enjoy a few misquote bites. But they were worth it, you really get to see the swamp in it's truest nature. There is no taming that thing!
6. Tin City: One of the weirdest little places I've ever been to. Well, maybe not the weirdest. However, you definitely feel as though your are stepping back into the 90's as you walk through all the small businesses in this funky layout of a strip mall? However, I found my favorite hair product supplier, with the Naples Soap Company here, which I still get shipped to me every time I run out of shampoo. This place is super cute, and fun to check out. (It's free)
Oh & most importantly a few good places to eat:
COSMOS PIZZA & GOLDEN LEAF: Great pizza and Chinese
