When you travel to the Paradise Coast, you’ll find lots of things to do in Naples, FL. Naples has great beaches, world-class shopping, prestigious golf courses, posh resorts, restaurants of every type, and exciting night life. Naples also boasts plenty of outdoor adventures, including swamp buggy rides and airboat tours of the Everglades and wildlife sanctuaries.
If you’re into saltwater angling, you’ll find Naples fishing to be a rewarding experience. You can fish from the Naples pier, or if you’re so inclined, you can cast a line right from the beach and do some surf fishing. For the more adventurous angler, kayaking into the backwater and sneaking up on big reds or snook is entirely possible. If you’re really serious about catching big fish, check out Naples fishing charters. Naples fishing charters take guest anglers on several different types of fishing trips, including backwater fishing, nearshore fishing, and offshore fishing.
Another great thing about Naples is its unique location. When you’re visiting or vacationing in Naples, you’ll be near numerous islands that lie just off the coast of Florida. Some of the larger islands have bridges that connect to the mainland, so you might want to round up the family and spend a few hours on Sanibel or Captiva, both famous for their variety of beautiful seashells. You might also like to visit Marco Island.
There are also many, many tiny islands – hundreds, in fact – many of which are completely uninhabited. Ever heard of the 10,000 Islands of Florida? They stretch from the southern tip of Marco Island to Lostmans River, in the Everglades. This is a real wilderness area, with a myriad of sloughs, mangroves, oyster bars, and shallows that support a wide range of birds, wildlife, marine life, and fish. It’s a true “back to nature” adventure. Remember, though, that it’s easy to get lost here. You might want to hire a guide, just to be safe. Why not hire a knowledgeable guide for fishing or for wildlife viewing? In fact, many guides will be able to include both fishing and wildlife into your 10,000 Islands and Everglades adventure.
