5 Things To Do While You Are Naples
Naples, Marco Island and the western portion of the Everglades make up Southwest Florida's Collier County – also known as The Paradise Coast. Collier is the largest county in the state of Florida, by land area, yet more than 80% of the vast expanse of land is preserved as park and nature preserve land by federal, state, county, city and private agencies. Beautiful beach communities surrounded by nature – it's no wonder the area is referred to as Florida’s Last Paradise. 2. Ride to Cocohatchee Nature Centre. There are several ways to do this; one is a narrated boat tour through a pristine mangrove estuary. The preserve is home to a variety of bird species. Dolphins and manatees are often seen playing in the waterways. Group specials, birthday parties, shelling, kayaking and catering! 3.Go shopping at Fifth Avenue in Naples. Shopping is an art form in Naples. Stroll Fifth Avenue South with its boutiques and art galleries, then head a few blocks away and do it all again along Third Street South – home to Gallery Row, fashion boutiques and interior design stores. One-of-a-kind items at unique boutiques make the Naples area a favourite for shoppers year round as well as during the holiday season. 4.Visit the Collier County Museum. The museum’s exhibits show what the area was like more than 10,000 years ago, when Paleoindians as well as mastodons, camels, mammoths and huge herds of bison and deer roamed the area. 5.Go on a shelling tour. Some natives are willing to share the secret that the beaches of the Paradise Coast region of Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades are filled with keepsake shells; this tour is fun for families or a bunch of friends. |
