| Welcome to Collier
County on the Gulf of Mexico, a paradise of sun, shore and nature
harmoniously blended with the cosmopolitan and cultural center this city
has become. Despite its population and housing developments, Collier
County remembers its Indian and early pioneering heritage. This diversity
combined with its attractions and activities make Naples a great place to
live and visit.
The Pier, Naples'
classic landmark, is where fish abound in the water for the pleasure of
dolphins, pelicans and humans alike. Come and just take a stroll down the
beach or visit the pier for a view of the sunset.
The best cuisine
from all over the world can be sampled in Naples, home also to many
exceptional resorts such as the Ritz Carlton, Registry Resort and Naples
Beach Hotel.
Shopping in Naples
is another treat, with a fabulous selection of fashionable centers and
plazas to choose from. From small boutiques and shops at Third Street, Tin
City, and Venetian Village to the large chain and department stores at
Coastland Center Mall and Waterside Shops, you can find just about
anything in Naples.
But if it's culture
you're after, spend an evening at the Philharmonic Center for the Arts or
the popular Dinner Theater. Take in a couple of art galleries while you're
about it, or a movie, and visit some historic sites around the city.
Special attractions
include the Teddy Bear Museum, the picturesque Naples Trolley Tours, and a
luxurious display of mansions along Port Royal.
But don't overlook
the natural attractions of our West Florida Coast. Sensitively preserved
at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, Conservancy, Jungle Larry's Caribbean
Gardens, Wiggins State Park Beach and so many other trails and centers,
are rare species of flora and fauna indigenous to the State.
