Naples, Coastal city in Florida, United States
Description
The city stretches along the Florida Gulf coast with long sand beaches distributed across more than 15 kilometers of shoreline. Residential districts and parks alternate, while the downtown area gathers shops and restaurants around well-kept streets.
History
Two businessmen from Kentucky founded the settlement in the late 19th century and named it after the Italian port city. The construction of a pier and the arrival of the railroad in the early 20th century encouraged tourism and development of the area.
Culture
Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South draw visitors with cafes, local shops, and galleries where people gather in the evenings to eat and stroll. At the pier, locals meet at sunset, while markets and festivals throughout the year bring the community together for outdoor events.
Practical
Public beaches along the coast offer parking and easy access to the water, especially early morning or late afternoon outside the busiest hours. Downtown can be explored on foot, while a car helps reach farther parks and nature preserves.
Did you know?
The historic pier extends nearly half a kilometer into the Gulf and provides space for fishing and walking on two levels with benches and viewpoints. Dolphins often swim close to shore, especially in the early morning hours when the water is calmer.
