Located in southwest Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, Naples is known for its fabulous sugar-fine sand beaches, famous golf courses, and the Naples Pier, the symbol of the city. Built in 1888, the Naples pier is where everyone gathers for fishing, dolphin-spotting, and sunset watching. It is also the site of the annual kids’ fishing tournament. Sanibel and Captiva Islands are great for picking up some beautiful shells on the beaches.
A cool place to visit is the Aquatic Butterfly Garden with beautiful ponds and waterfalls.
The Children's Museum of Naples is the place where kids learn through play while weaving through a maze, climbing a huge banyan tree, or working the water station. Sun-N-Fun Lagoon is a fun water park with pools, a lazy river, a splash playground, water slides, and much more. Don’t miss a tour of the Everglades in an airboat or in a kayak.
