NAPLES VACATION RENTALS, FLORIDA

There are 6 beaches in Naples and more in the nearby cities, such as Marco Island and Bonita Springs. Waves are gentle along the sugary-white sandy shores of Naples. Delnor Wiggins State Park is one of the most popular beaches in Southwest Florida. Occupying the north end of a barrier island, it is also a natural outlet for the Cocohatchee River. Clam Pass Beach Park, which runs along the 35-acre coastal preserve, features free trams from the parking area.

At the Pier, Naples’ classic landmark, fish abound. Tour the T-shaped Pier or watch the dolphins and the pelicans do their own fishing. The prize you bring home would include the grouper and snapper, and the prize you catch and release would include cobia, permit, barracuda, and jewfish, among others.

Temporary 12 month, 7day, and 3 day fishing licenses are available for nonresidents. Children under the age of 16 do not need a license to fish in Florida. The Pier is open 24 hours a day. Restroom and shower facilities are available, and there’s a snack bar and bait shop too.

One of the best ways to see Naples is on a canoe or a kayak. Meander through the several estuaries and passes or paddle among the dolphins and manatee. Watch bald eagles, egret, heron and abundant wildlife in their natural habitat, as you enjoy canoeing along the marshes at Naples.

Take a wilderness adventure tour to Cockscrew Swamp Sanctuary. A 2.25-mile raised boardwalk takes the visitors through 4 distinct environs: the pine upland, a wet prairie, a cypress forest and a marsh. Canoes can be rented for a tranquil exploration of the mangrove waterways.

Just off the beach at the Conservancy, a natural path winds past rare and beautiful animals residing within a 52-acres jungle of exotic plants. The Caribbean Gardens are for animal lovers of all ages. With part-botanical and part-animal attractions, the park is a tour of 52-acres of simulated jungle by foot, tram or boat. Regular wildlife demonstrations feature monkeys, elephants, snakes, tigers and birds with a myriad of other animals. The Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens is right in the heart of the town.
