Naples, Marco Island and Everglades
Located on the edge of the Everglades, Naples and Marco Island is the perfect place from which to explore this unique area of Florida. These upscale areas are famous for their soft sandy beaches, some of the finest shopping and dining in Florida, golf and other sporting activities.
The Paradise Coast boasts more than 30 miles of soft, white sand beaches, just steps away from gentle waves. Marco Island is home to resorts and family friendly beaches. With so much coastline on offer, there’s plenty of opportunity for activity on the water, with surfing, kayaking, jet skiing, windsurfing, paragliding, paddle boarding and airboat rides in the Everglades, there’s definitely something for everyone. If this isn’t enough activity, there are also more than 90 golf courses in the Greater Naples metro area, placing the region as #1 in the National Golf Foundation’s rankings of golf holes per capita.
For those looking for an unforgettable adventure, there is the subtropical wilderness of the Everglades - a UNESCO World Heritage Site and ecosystem which protects some of the rarest and most endangered species in the US including Florida panthers, West Indian manatees, American crocodiles, and wood storks. Choose from the vast array of options such as airboat rides, wildlife tours, hiking one of many trails, taking a ranger-guided swamp walk strolling along the Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk or explore on your own in a canoe or kayak through the Ten Thousand Islands.
Located just two hours from Miami, four hours from Orlando and three hours from Tampa, the Paradise Coast is easily accessible from some of Florida’s largest cities.
